0–6 months
In the first six months, your baby has two big pieces of work: learning to aim their eyes, and discovering their own hands. Everything here serves one of those — focusing, tracking, grasping, first reaching — and nothing else. The list is short on purpose: a baby moves through each of these in a matter of weeks, so a few right things, rotated, beat a closet of outgrown ones.
