In fact, young infants have very little coordination between their senses and their bodies. How, then, can they play? Play for a young infant is so important because it helps in the development of the infant’s skills. Developmentally appropriate toys like mobiles and activity centers help develop an infant’s senses and coordination of muscles, both gross motor (arms and legs) to fine motor (eye movement and tracking). After infants learn to control their own bodies, they become less ego-centric and more aware of the world around them. As an infant changes, so does play. The significance now is on the rules of the universe. She is learning to recognize shapes of objects and is learning to sort and classify by shape and size. She is learning how things work in her world – that there are clear and consistent rules that she freely and frequently tests by repetitive play with toys that reinforce these concepts. In turn, without being told directly, she is learning to analyze and problem solve. In addition, she is developing focus and concentration skills. Infants, as well as older children and adults, experience joy when they are successful. Because play occurs in a safe and nurturing environment, infants learn coping skills and how to deal with emotional frustration when play becomes too intense or overwhelming, or when there has been a sense of failure. #montessori #tavolemontessoriane #montessorikids #montessorimethod #allacciature #lacing #toys #montessoritoys #giochifattiamano #handmade #handmadetoys #stimolazionesensoriale #sensory #sensorybook #tactilebook #artbook #libriperbambini #bambini #childrensbook #kidsbookstagram #instantkids #Монтессори #モンテッソーリ #子供 #дети #niños #enfants (presso Italy)
