Trying to elicit giggles from a toddler?
1. Pretend to nibble her shoulders/ fingers/toes/ears
2. Blow "raspberries" onto her belly (Evelyn requests this pretty often)
3. Make an unexpected silly face, like a fishy face
4. Squeeze a mostly empty ketchup bottle (she thinks the sound is hilarious)
5. Burst out in song and dance around the house
6. Scoop her up and zoom her in the air like a plane
7. Make a stuffed animal or doll do the "little teapot" dance or the "itsy bitsy spider" hand motions
8. Show her a video of herself as a "baby" (even if it's only a few weeks/months old). Bonus laughter for videos including baby talk. Evelyn's current favorite is a clip from the eve of her first birthday. A post-bath Evelyn tumbles around the big bed and holds up one finger, saying "Da!" and babbling as she plays peek-a-boo. It is pretty cute, if I do say so myself.
