Adults facilitate infant learning by planning activities that promote the development of milestones and by providing toys that are safe for the infant to explore with the mouth and manipulate with the hands, such as rattles, wooden blocks, plastic stacking rings, squeezable stuffed animals, and busy boxes. Infants are not capable of participating in small group activities. By age 4, children play in groups of two or three. For the toddler (not the infant), television, videos, electronic games, and computer programs help support development and learning of basic skills. Adults should provide toys that are safe for the infant to explore with the mouth. Small, plastic letters and magnets could be choking hazards for an infant.
