Infants reach out to explore world |

FROM BIRTH on, children begin to use their

five senses to explore

their surroundings and

begin to interact with their expanding world.

Reaching out to discover their place in this new en- vironment (compared to the relative calm of the womb) feads to the first tiny at- tempts at play.

One of the most powerful is their development of con- trol or power over the world around them. This includes their control.over the people in that environment (a power which continues, much to our perplexity, throughout childhood)...

The never-ending testing process involves all the five senses:, touch, taste, sight, smell and hearing.

tricate tasks of eating, crawl- ing, walking and playing. Some of the simplest ver- sions of early play are achieved without actual ob- jects. Singing simple rhymes while splashing together in the bath is one of the special and most simple moments shared. These times together also further cement the bon- ding, the life-long relation- ship and familiar security. Good rattles are those which allow a baby to touch different textures, hear in- teresting sounds, and see appealing visual shapes and colors. Hopefully, not colors are bright, but can consist of more subtle shades, including natural

world is likewise comprised of many textures and shades. Hopefully, not all such sounds are loud and jangl- ing. A baby’s ears are just becoming used to all the sounds in the world — and there’s plenty enough loud ones without us always ad- ding more.

Manipulative dexterity has its first beginnings in feeling the textures of clothes on those of us who hold a baby. It develops through rattles and crib gyms (shapes, bells, and rings suspended across a crib or beside a car-seat).

From six months on, such opportunities multiply, through the exploration of specific toys such as shape- sorting boxes and the han- dling of the increasing varie- ty of everyday objects that become more available as a baby becomes quickly more mobile.

With developing mobility, the same coordinations used in walking can be re-inforced through playthings such as baby walkers (low carts with high, vertical handles) and toddler trikes . (without pedals).

A child is reaching out to discover a limitless variety of knowledge, skills and expe- riences. As parents, we need to reinforce the foundation of this simple learning by providing the atmosphere for participating play for our babies.
