Some tricks to make baby laugh

  • Tickling
  • Make clown faces: with grimaces and imitations
  • Hiding and reappearing, or playing “coucou” five, ten times in a row.
  • Little kisses on the belly
  • Surprises with facial expressions and funny sounds. Babies love comic words like "boom", "oh oh" and “tadam"
  • Take your child in your arms and turn on yourself slowly a few times.
  • Blow on their navel
  • Drop some cool water droplets on their feet
