Screen-Free Educational Activities for 1 Year Olds 

Screen-free time is incredibly beneficial for babies as it helps to nurture their reasoning, motor, and communication skills with the use of objects around them instead of in front of them. Cognitively, it helps babies with problem-solving, exploration, and discovery. They can explore their environment and develop their understanding of cause and effect. 

Through actions like building towers, rolling balls, and bath time bubble fun, babies learn about spatial relationships, physics, and engineering. It also helps them to grow their fine and gross motor skills through physical activities such as crawling, walking, rotating, grasping and manipulating objects.
