Play and Grow Smart-er Tips


Nancy Pyne-Hapke, author of “Play and Grow Smart, A Guide Supporting Brain Development, Birth through Five,” has been giving tips to aid your child’s optimum skill development through proactive neuroscience-based activities every Monday.  These ideas come from scholarly sources to personal interviews, from the internet to periodicals to books.


“VISUAL” DEVELOPMENTAL SKILL DEFINITION: seeing, distinguishing images, focusing on stimuli, tracking images, remembering images, looking at items sequentially, forming mental images.


THE ‘CRITICAL WINDOW’ during which the circuits of the brain are being most heavily wired for VISUAL  ACUITY is birth – 6 months, and BINOCULAR VISION is 1 – 3 years.  The more opportunity children have to experience healthy, positive and nurturing visual experiences during this critical period, the more efficiently their brains will work over the long run.


A FEW DEVELOPMENTAL LEARNING TOOLS (toys and other objects) for the VISUAL sense:


* tracking toys


* products with patterns/textures


* toys with mirrors/faces


* products holding familiar photos


* toys with contrasting colors


* items that wave in the breeze


* bubble pipes


* spatial- and size-relationship items


* activity centers


Next week – “Visual,” Pt. 2
