    I'm not sure exactly what age babies can comprehend all those things, but I do know that the sooner you start talking about things and showing them things the sooner they will learn!
    Babies are like little sponges, so the best thing you can do is just talk to them about everything - explain what youre doing ("Im washing the round plate!" "Look, its the blue ball" "I have three biscuits" etc) you dont need fancy learning tools
    HTH!
    Excellent post

    Yeah that (points up).

    My mum always comments on a friends DD who is so very smart. Her mum is a school teacher & she talks to her constantly, tells her what she is doing & why etc. I try to do this with DS all of the time, when walking with him in the pram, driving the car & I use things he has an interest in to teach him stuff also. Like most days I ask him what number or colour is Thomas or Percy etc. They will all pick it up in their own time but never too young to start.
