Baby's enjoy playing, and any kind of safe object can be a learning experience. Letting your baby touch and feel a number of objects allows them to observe how they vary. You can help baby learn by showing them how things work.

You can use safe items from around the home to help baby learn. All things are new for baby, so even feeling new textures is quite the learning experience.
