Hand Discovery Play
Parent helps baby discover and explore their own hands through gentle touch, visual attention, and simple object holding. The agent coaches the parent to observe early hand-to-mouth coordination, sustained visual focus, and emerging body awareness — building foundational cognitive skills through sensory exploration.
Free to do together whenever you like.
