Cognitive Activities for Infants Handout

Activities such as reading books with colorful pictures, playing peek-a-boo to teach object permanence, and singing nursery rhymes to enhance language skills promote infants' cognitive development effectively.

Cognitive skills for infants include object permanence (understanding objects exist even when out of sight), cause and effect understanding (such as dropping objects), and the ability to imitate simple actions or sounds.

Three examples of cognitive activities for infants are playing with stacking toys to develop hand-eye coordination, engaging in interactive games like pat-a-cake to enhance social skills, and introducing toys that make different sounds to stimulate auditory perception.
