]]>In this other article, we expand more about the great benefits that painting with hands and feet has for children's development.
It's super easy to make!
You will need these ingredients:
In a pan place the flour, add a small amount of water and stir. Continue adding the water little by little while stirring until you have a homogeneous mixture (there are no lumps). Bring the pan to medium heat, stirring until the mixture thickens slightly.
If you want to have paint of several colors, separate the mixture into different containers (according to the number of colors you are going to prepare). Add the food coloring of each color diluted in a little water to each container.
If you want to enrich the experience when playing, add some edible essence of your choice to stimulate the sense of smell.
Mix, let cool and that's it!
How to play?
Probably many parents and caregivers avoid doing these types of activities for fear of dirtying the house or the space in which they are.
We want to make you aware of the importance of these types of experiences for the development of babies and children.
You can keep a large piece of plastic at home or a protective tarp to carry out this type of activity and thus make cleaning easier.
We recommend using a large and hopefully thick paper or kraft paper. You can place the paper on the floor or stuck on a stained glass window, or easy-to-clean tile wall, so that children explore their movements by painting in both the horizontal and vertical planes.
Allow babies and children to explore painting with their hands , fingers and even their feet, it will be an experience for all the senses.
]]>Below we explain the step by step so that you can perform these massages with your baby:
Perform 5 repetitions of each movement
1. Relax the masseter muscle by making circular movements on the cheek from the inside out and from the outside in.
2. Project the baby's lips towards the front, moving your fingers from the ears towards the lips so that in the end the lips look like a fish's mouth. This will help so that when the baby attaches to the breast, he does so with his lips outward or everted.
3 . Perform a dotting movement around the lips to relax the muscles (orbicularis oris muscle).
4. Stretch these muscles by moving your fingers in and out over your upper lip and then under your lower lip.
5. Relax your upper and lower lips by making a sweeping movement from top to bottom on the upper lip and from bottom to top on the bottom, from the chin towards the lip.
In the following video you will be able to see the complete movements that we have just explained to you:

"Brief touches can communicate as many emotions as gestures and facial expressions, sometimes even more quickly and accurately than words." Physical touch is the first language we learn and will be the richest means of emotional expression throughout life. Dacher Keltner psychologist, professor at the University of California
We have physical contact when we hug, caress, rock and hold our baby, when we play with the activities and songs that Tool-be recommends, and massage is a differentiated physical stimulus that has enormous benefits for babies, children, and also for the adult.
Physical contact with the baby's skin through massages, in addition to the relaxing effect, produces other positive behavioral, psychomotor and physiological effects on the baby.
Some of these effects are:
recommendations
Remember that Tool-be created soft, instrumental songs especially to accompany this moment! listen to them here
Position
In India, this practice is performed on the floor, with the baby lying on the adult's legs.
If we choose this position, we must adopt the following posture: We sit on the floor (on a mat or protector) with our legs stretched and together, our back straight and our shoulders relaxed. We put one of the towels over our legs and lay the baby on his back facing us (his head near our knees and his legs near our pelvis). If the position is uncomfortable, we can open our legs a little and place the baby between them, on a mat protected by a towel or blanket.
We know that for many adults this position is not so comfortable, which is why we recommend performing the massage on the changing table or on a bed.
Duration and frequency
These massages can last 20 to 30 minutes, always depending on the baby's disposition and attitude. For each of the steps, we recommend doing 5 to 10 slow repetitions and thoroughly feeling each movement.
Learn to read the baby's rhythm, he is the one who will tell you the appropriate time for massages.
Tools
You will need a towel and natural baby oil and have the time to enjoy this lovely moment.
How to do them step by step?
In the video you can clearly see the steps that we explain below:
Step 1. Circular movement on the chest
We rub our hands with the oil and start with the chest.
We place both open hands in the center of the chest, and make circular movements from the center outwards (as if making a heart), alternating hands.
Step 2. Diagonal movement in the chest
We place our hands on each side of the lower part of the baby's chest.
We alternate each hand, making a diagonal movement on the chest until we reach the opposite shoulder, bringing the little finger to the baby's neck and returning to the starting point.
Step 3. From the center of the chest to the neck
We place both hands in the center of the chest, slide them towards the neck, massaging the baby's chest and neck, and return to the starting position.
Step 4. Arms
We can lie our baby on his side to massage his arms.
We begin the massage on one of the baby's arms, holding the arm in the following way: We form a ring with our thumb and the rest of the fingers, we hug the baby's arm with this position. We start the massage at the height of the baby's shoulder and move our fingers towards the wrist. At this moment the other hand begins the same movement. We repeat this movement alternating our two hands.
Then we put both hands (in the ring position) simultaneously on our baby's arm at shoulder height and perform a twisting movement: turning our hands at the same time, outwards and then inwards alternately; and we begin to slide our hands towards the wrist following this movement.
We perform the same massage on the other arm.
Step 5. Hands
We continue with the massage on the baby's hand. Using the thumbs, we start at the bottom of the palm of the hand and massage in the direction of his fingers (we open his fingers) drawing a straight line: first towards his little finger and back , then towards the middle fingers, back and finally towards the thumb. We repeat this action.
We do the same on the other hand.
Step 6. Legs
We perform the same massage of the arms, putting our hands in a ring shape with the thumb and index finger. We start at the height of the pelvis and end at the baby's ankles.
Step 7 Feet
We continue massaging his feet, and like our hands, we use our thumbs to perform the massage.
We start at the bottom of the sole of the foot and massage in the direction of his fingers: first towards his little toe, back and finally towards his thumb. We repeat this action, and alternate their feet.
Step 8. Abdomen
We place our open hand on the center of his abdomen or our forearm (in the part immediately below his ribs) and slide alternately towards the lower part of his abdomen.
Then we bring their feet together, stretch them, lift them and massage the abdomen from the ribs to the bottom using either the forearm or the hand.
Step 9. Back
We place our open hands on the upper part of the baby's back, and make a back-and-forth movement with them, while one hand moves away, the other approaches our body (movement perpendicular to the baby's spine). With this movement we move along his back until we reach his buttocks!
Step 8. Face
We lay the baby on his back and perform different movements.
Step 9. Stretching
We finish the massages with three movements that help stretch and relax the joints.
When we finish our massage routine, it is advisable to give the baby a calm bath to clean the oil we applied and to continue the relaxation process.
We would love to hear about your experience with Shantala massages.
