Give infants opportunities to safely look at, listen to, smell, touch, and taste
new things. Supervise them carefully as they explore.
Talk, talk, talk about everything the children see, hear, touch, taste, and smell.
Infants learn by exploring with their senses. Teachers should provide a variety
of materials and watch to see what attracts the infants’ attention. Let their
interests guide you in selecting materials and activities.
Have board, cloth, and plastic books with large pictures and few words. Include
books with realistic and colorful pictures and photographs.
Young children are curious about living creatures. They enjoy watching “bugs”
and other creatures such as ants, snails, caterpillars, worms, butterflies, birds,
and squirrels. Help them learn the names of what they see and hear
Have safe plants, such as vegetable plants, in your classroom. (Be sure the plants
are not harmful if eaten or cause rashes if touched.)
