For these reasons, new parents can hang some black and white stuffed toys at the top of the cradle and let the babies lift their heads to look at it; furthermore, parents can also move the plush toys slowly from different directions so as to help the newborns concentrate and enhance vision development.
When the newborn babies are two months old, they are in a sensitive period of vision development, at this time, parents can use more colorful toys like the animal finger puppet to attract the infants as the intriguing appearances and bright colors can stimulate baby’s vision. Playing finger puppet with your children can not only speed up your baby’s vision development, but also spark curiosity in kids for early learning.
