"Gobbi" - the third Montessori carousel that can be introduced to a 8-10 week old baby. You can make it yourself by downloading this digital memo with a print-ready template and hanging instructions.
In Montessori pedagogy, the first objects introduced to the newborn are precisely the carousels. They are used from the first day until about three months and are designed considering the development of the baby's vision and attention focus, later becoming an important foundation for intellectual development.
Since vision is still developing at this stage, and color differentiation is weak, this carousel specifically enhances that.Made of different shades of spherical shapes, the carousel will help the baby's eyes develop depth perception. The spheres are hung from the darkest - closest to the lightest - farthest, so as the vision improves, the baby will be able to see the object hung higher.

In Montessori pedagogy, the first objects presented to a newborn are carousels. They are used from the first day until about three months of age and are designed to support the development of the baby's vision and attention span, which later become an important foundation for intellectual development.
