Start with everyday experiences.

Choose a visual, a shared sound, an outdoor moment or support for arranging the baby room.

Leave time for a response.

Notice what holds the baby’s attention and return to familiar experiences. The music and outdoor collections cover several ages; use their baby guidance and choose materials for the baby’s current stage.
