When to use: 
Promotes learning through the tactile system. Infants learn through touch/feel via input from their hands and mouth.
Gives the opportunity to learn and feel different textures. 
 
How to use: 
Great opportunity for feeling with hands or chewing/sucking on with mouth. 
Can be used to promote play in various positions: tummy time, on back, sidelying. 
Can also be used just out of infants reach to promote reach/grasp. 
If child is struggling to cross the midline (reach across their body) or to extend just beyond their reach, this is often a great motivation tool.
