Different Sized Object Handling

Parent offers baby objects of varying sizes and observes how they grasp and hold them. The agent guides the parent to notice whether baby uses one or both hands, whether they open their hand in anticipation, and how they adapt their grip to different object sizes -- building fine motor coordination and tactile awareness.

Free to do together whenever you like.
