January 26, 2007, Newsletter Issue #49: Give a Gift to Boost Development

Tip of the Week

When selecting a baby blanket, try to select one that provides a multi-sensory experience. Vivid colors and distinguishable faces provide visual stimulation that will jump start baby's development. Blankets with squeakers or crinkly components that provide sounds will trigger auditory stimulation. And, choosing a blanket composed of assorted materials of different textures can easily stimulate the sense of touch. In addition, you should attempt to find a blanket that has knots or appendages that a little one can get a hold of. Grasping the blanket can help a baby practice hand-eye coordination as well as basic hand coordination skills.
