1. If you gently touch a newborn baby's cheek she'll root around for nipple to feed. Her skin is highly sensitive and she responds immediately to the feeling of different textures, especially if they're unfamiliar. Perhaps surprisingly, this can help her develop highly intellectual skills, such as the concepts of opposites ( rough and smooth, for instance, or hard and soft ).
2. Making a touch-and-feel mat : They are plenty of baby play mats to choose from in the shops, but you could also make your own by covering a small blanket with a patchwork of squares cut from material of different textures. Stitch them down firmly with wool and make sure there are no loose ends or loops to catch little fingers.
2. Baby will benefit from :
- Hand control
- Experimentation
- Concept of opposites
- Relaxing
- Anticipation
- Conversation
