Young children benefit from opportunities to repeat and practise different actions. This helps their brain development and learning as they grow. Babies love exploring how things move and soon discover that whatever is dropped or thrown falls down, never up!
This early experimentation allows your baby to observe and learn more about the world, including:
- The effects of gravity
- The sounds that objects make when they are dropped
- The different ways objects move when dropped or thrown
- That objects continue to exist and usually stay the same shape and size when dropped
