How to try it
Fill a shallow basket with safe household objects your baby has never held — a wooden spoon, a metal whisk, a fabric coaster. Sit close by and let them choose, turn, and mouth each one at their own pace.
Materials
- Shallow basket
- Safe household objects
Safety note
Offer only objects bigger than a toilet paper tube, with no loose or breakable parts, and stay within arm's reach.
Save this idea
Review this idea in your private family planner before saving.
Why it matters
