Mouth Exploration Play
Parent presents colorful toys to baby, observing how baby visually tracks objects and explores them with mouth. The agent coaches the parent to notice visual attention, hand-eye coordination, and oral exploration — building early cognitive processing and sensory integration.
Free to do together whenever you like.
What you'll need
Baby positioned on back or slightly propped up on a soft surface. Several colorful, baby-safe toys within parent's reach. Room should be well-lit but not overly bright. Baby should be alert and calm.
