Infant - Musical Instruments

As this student explores the different instruments, she develops auditory awareness as she hears the different sounds and tones they make while showing cause & effect as her movement causes the sound. The mobiles also encourage gross motor development as she moves her arms and legs with the mobiles while refining her eye tracking as she watches them move.

Infant - Auditory Awareness

As this student gains hand-eye coordination to pick up objects and hold them, she is exploring what happens when she moves them, shakes them, and hits them on surfaces. While this may just seem like making noise, this repetitive action reinforces the concept of cause and effect, helps her become aware of different sounds, and gain fine motor control as she holds onto the object.
