1. When the infant is facing you place the Work Mat between you and the child and place the basket on the Mat.
2. Remove an Object from the Basket, placing it on the mat and putting the basket aside.
3. Show the object to the child by holding it in their natural line of vision and pause momentarily when you have the child’s attention, then clearly articulate the name of the object to the child in a normal fashion

   (without using “baby-talk”)…for example. “Whisk”.
