From an early age babies use touch to investigate their world; as they learn to reach they begin to run their tongue and lips over toys and then look at them. The grasping, at first, is quite clumsy but through repetition, and across time, infants become adept at grasping and develop fine motor skills. Exploration and play are closely linked in infants where, for example, discovering that a toy makes a noise leads to infants repeating the action that made the noise. During the first year of life infants’ visual development is rapid and they begin to identify objects through shape, colour and texture. buttons introduce numbers, shapes and fun phrases, while 3 textured balls can be put in and taken out of the cube triggering fun responses.
