# Activities for babies from 4 to 8 months

The world becomes something to explore.

Four activities to do at home between 4 and 8 months, one from each area of this stage: touch and fine motor skills, gross motor skills, hearing and vision. Each one explains what you need, how to do it step by step and what your child is learning, with its sources.

## [Arm and leg crosses](https://papakoala.com/en/activities/arm-and-leg-crosses/)

You gently bring their hand over to the opposite knee, and they feel their arm and leg moving together.

## [Balancing on all fours](https://papakoala.com/en/activities/balancing-on-all-fours/)

You hold a toy up high so they let go with one hand and stay on all fours, balanced on three points.

## [First books](https://papakoala.com/en/activities/first-books/)

You look at a book with big pictures together while you name what they see, and they start to link books with your voice.

## [Peekaboo](https://papakoala.com/en/activities/peekaboo/)

You hide your face behind a cloth and pop back out with a smile, so they discover you're still there even when they can't see you.

The app has 22 more activities for this age. Each day it suggests one, based on their age and what you've done together.
