Sound and movement attract a baby’s attention; if a toy is placed almost within reach of babies their movements become more animated. Babies begin to learn about conversational turn-taking from an early age; if a baby is babbling the adult waits for a pause and then talks to the baby. 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. The grasping, at first, is quite clumsy but through repetition, and across time, infants become adept at grasping and develop fine motor skills.

Infants also learn about the links between sights, sounds and feel of toys when these are demonstrated by adults.

Babies who handle shapes and also fit them through a hole are learning to solve problems through touch and sight. Babies can perceive input from different sensory systems in a unified way; for instance, vision and touch are closely coordinated when using a shape sorter. Young infants need to be presented with an adequate but not too great amount of sensory stimulation. After the first year, infants adopt the ‘pincer grasp’ where they use their thumb and index finger to grasp even very tiny objects.There are social skills involved in language acquisition such as realising that it is necessary to wait until the other person has finished speaking. br /> 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. During the first year of life infants’ visual development is rapid and they begin to identify objects through shape, colour and texture.
