In the third month of life, the development of the baby enters a new phase: he realizes that the things around him can not only be viewed, but also tasted by touch. A child at the age of 2, 5 months begins to grab and hold objects in his hands, taste them, manipulate them. During this period, it is important to support the little researcher and provide him with worthy objects of study.

Rattles, rubber toys, specially made pouches, various household items
Instructions
Step 1
At first, offer your baby colored balls or rings and help him to hold them. Give your child a rubber squeaky toy. They can be taken in the mouth and squeezed in the handles. They are bright and squeaky, which means that all the baby's senses will be involved.
Step 2
Take special care when choosing rattles, especially the material of which they are made. The first thing your child will do with a toy is to put it in his mouth, so the harmlessness of the raw materials from which it is made should not cause the slightest doubt. In addition, a 2-month old baby's rattle should have rounded corners and a comfortable handle. Preference should be given to a toy made of soft material, bright color and emitting a pleasant, not too loud sound.
Step 3
To diversify the tactile sensations of the child will help special bags made of materials of various textures, filled with a variety of fillers to the touch. It can be washed and calcined river sand, dried peas, buckwheat, feathers, straw, etc. You can make them yourself. Make sure that all seams are carefully stitched and that the fabrics do not fade or leak content. Fold the fabric several times as needed. Make the bags small in size and oblong in shape to make it easier for the child to take.
Step 4
It will be very useful for the kid to explore not only toys, but also some safe household items. Under your constant supervision, give your child a painted wooden spoon with a rounded handle, a thread pom-pom, a whisk for whipping, a nylon cap, and a plastic bottle. Of course, all items must be pre-rinsed and doused with boiling water. Our ancestors also allowed the baby to play with household items. Everything that the child could not break or swallow was used. This was done not because there were few toys, but in order to introduce the baby to the world in which he was to live as early as possible.
