Babies 3rd–4th. They start to be interested in objects starting from the first month. They try to recognize what the object is. The organ used to recognize objects in this period is the mouth. For this reason, all babies put whatever they can into their mouths. Starting from the 9th month, they show more conscious interest in objects, push objects and try to show them when asked. Around the age of 1, they begin to recognize objects from their pictures and show them pictures from books.
During this development process, it is necessary to give the baby the opportunity to put objects in his mouth and touch them, after taking the necessary safety precautions to help him get to know the world and explore his environment. Starting from the 3rd month, visiting the parts of the house, explaining what is in each room, introducing the items in the room one by one, and allowing the baby to touch them not only helps the baby recognize the objects but also accelerates language development.
Showing pictures of the objects along with them around the age of 1. Games such as making sounds of objects such as animals, vehicles, etc., and explaining what objects are used for (such as "this is a table, we eat at the table", "this is a glass, we drink water from it") can be played.
Only indoors, at home. Creating various situations so that the baby can recognize not only the objects in the environment but also the objects outside makes the baby's exploration of the world fun. The baby will enjoy showing the trees and flowers and giving him the opportunity to touch them when he goes out. Showing the animals and vehicles you see on the street to the baby and making their sounds will attract the baby's attention. Dipping their feet into the sea, touching the sand, sitting on the grass will support the baby's visual and tactile learning.
While playing with toys and introducing objects, not only naming them but also telling their colors and shapes supports the baby's language and concept development.
