What are infants learning at such a young age?

Fine Motor Development

Infants have very limited fine motor skills. At first, they are not even aware that their appendages (arms and legs) are a part of their bodies. Soon, however, babies will start to grab at items within reach.

Encourage this grasping skill by offering small, soft, toys that are easy for small inexperienced hands to grasp. Items with different textures, colors, and sounds will make the experience even more exciting and stimulating for baby.
