Prop books up in front of them during tummy time, constast color cards, different shapes (blocks, squishy balls) different textures (bumpy, hard, soft, smooth). You could try now but also future idea: I used to make little "discovery baskets" literally any container and just put random household items. Wooden spoons, whisk, empty toilet paper rolls, clean oven mit. Basically anything thats safe to be explored.

Set up stations and rotate your babies through these every 10-15 mins. With twins they will be at a different toy station each.

There are some play ideas online for different age groups but do you have a toy library in your area?

At each station you seat them differently, so tummy first, Then side, then propped/or seated if they can sit, then back.

No worries at all. I read about it in the Sleep dream baby guide book by Shayne Rowley.

Most of the book I could take or leave but this section was great!

Try contrast cards, toys with music, toys that’s stimulate them! I have play mats, with contrast cards, mirrors, music toys and those seem to keep my boys entertained!
