Cognitive Development
"Young children explore objects to discover their basic physical properties and investigate concepts that will later form the foundations of mathematical thinking in quantity, space, and time" (Post, Hohmann, and Epstein 46).
For infants and toddlers, the world is completely and entirely new. Even the simplest things, like a wooden table, a fuzzy quilt, or a soft teddy bear, creates new memories and sensations that will last a lifetime.
Activities that promote cognitive development gives infants and toddlers more opportunities to explore their environment through hands-on experiences.
Materials for the classroom: sensory bottles, sensory bins, paint (red, blue, yellow), shaving cream, flowers, play dough, Legos
