From the very first months of life, playing helps to create a relationship between you and your baby who begins to discover himself and the world around him. The child's developmental process is strongly influenced by the stimuli and input from the surrounding environment. Having fun with mum and dad is also important, because it allows a baby to learn by imitating their actions, with useful effects on motor development as well as on self-awareness and self-esteem.
The baby's interaction in the early months of life
Newly born, a baby is attracted by his mother's face and bright colours. At 2 months, he understands the relationship between movement and noise and at 3 months he grabs and moves objects. At 5 months, he already has a transition object. At 6-7 months, he begins to understand that objects exist even if they can't be seen. At 9 months, he grabs, touches and “tastes” everything he sees. There are different types of baby toys on the market, each focusing on a specific aspect of your child's development and therefore suitable for your child's age.

From the third month, you can let your baby play with fabrics and shiny cards, to be crumpled or torn, with hot or cold materials, or rattles that make noise.
