I have generally recommended modeling sticking the tongue out at the baby to
have the baby mimic the action, seems to work especially well with an older
sibling to help,  makes the work fun.

It seems the older the baby at the time of the clipping the more time the
baby  takes to discover the new parameters of their extention ability. Have
others found this to be the case?
