" "Peek-a-boo is a delightful form of play where one person hides from another person either by covering the face with their hands or with an object, such as a blanket, then peeking back into view with an enthusiastic "Peekaboo!"

Playing peek-a-boo supports concepts like object permanence and predicting patterns, as well as social exchanges and social-emotional development.
