2-4 Months Cognitive Skills

At 2-4 months, babies are becoming more alert and active, and are beginning to develop their cognitive skills, including memory, problem-solving, and attention. Age-appropriate toys can help encourage early cognitive development in babies aged 2-4 months. Here are some examples:

Toys that encourage exploration and problem-solving, such as stacking or nesting toys, which promote hand-eye coordination and spatial awareness.

Toys with different textures, shapes, and colors can be used for sensory exploration and cognitive development, which also encourage reaching and grasping.

Rattles or toys that make noise, which can help promote auditory development and attention, as well as cause-and-effect understanding.

Activity gyms or mats provide visual and tactile stimulation, which promote exploration and encourage the development of fine and gross motor skills.

Books with bright pictures or simple stories can help promote early literacy skills, as well as visual and cognitive development.

You should also consider your baby's individual needs and preferences, as well as their unique rate of development.
