mobile birds - baby bird
When the little bird gently swings in the air, the baby's eyes follow it
Newborn babies can only lie in the crib and their movements are very limited.
Their world is small, and their eyes are the only windows to explore their surroundings.
If you can only stare at the ceiling or the same pattern every day, it is like sitting on a boat and looking at the calm water surface, which is monotonous and lacks stimulation.
By adjusting the environment and hanging different pendants or small objects, it is like throwing small stones into a calm lake, stirring up tiny ripples.
Babies will unconsciously turn their heads or stretch their arms and legs to track moving objects. This not only enriches their sensory experience, but also helps the brain establish more neural connections, gradually refining their visual tracking abilities.
This kind of "visual tracking" activity is an important exercise in Montessori education, helping children develop concentration and hand-eye coordination.
From observing the movement of objects to learning to move your eyes from top to bottom, these are important foundations for future reading and writing.
