Incredibly, all of an infant’s senses are functioning at the
time of birth. They grow more intense over the years until age 3. Infants are
very interested in sensorial experiences which is why we provide rattles,
bells, music and the human voice for listening; mobiles and mirrors for visual
stimulation, and varied textures for touching. Children between the ages of 12
to 18 months are learning to differentiate between things such as sounds, colors,
and textures. They especially enjoy the sensorial experiences of the outdoors
with sand, water, dirt, leaves, sounds of birds, wind, raindrops, and the
feeling of the sun or wind on their skin.
