Have cardboard, plastic, and cloth picture books that show different shapes
and sizes.
Have a selection of puzzles with a few large pieces that have their own space
in the base of the puzzle. These are called “inset puzzles.” Choose puzzles
with knobs. If necessary, glue corks or empty thread spools on each piece to
help children develop their small muscle skills.
Look for a floor gym with colorful shapes that hang down for the infants to
look and swipe at.
Have blocks of different sizes and colors. Soft velour or cloth blocks are good
for infants.
Make your own “hollow” blocks by covering shoe boxes and other cartons
with construction or contact paper.
The infancy stage is a time for exploration. Do not try to “teach” shapes, sizes,
colors, or numbers. Instead, provide plenty of hands-on experiences for babies
to experiment and explore.
