Welcoming your bundle of joy at home is undoubtedly a roller coaster of emotions, so it’s only natural to prepare all your infant’s essentials to lead a comfortable life. The baby room is likely set up to the brim with amazing toys and other accessories, but what about the Montessori mobile that usually sways gently in the wind above your baby’s crib? 

Montessori mobiles may seem like decorative accents that can keep your baby entertained, but these visuals can do wonders for developing your infant’s ability to focus, recognize color, and perceive depth. Who knew that these visual cues could bring so much light and learning opportunities for little sweetheart? 

What Makes the Montessori Mobile So Engaging for Your Baby?

Montessori mobile offers a compelling visual aid that shows a stunning performance of light for your little one. Different shapes and colors moving delicately through the air create a dazzling motion, one that can capture your infant’s attention and challenge their focus. Different types of Montessori mobiles can produce distinct benefits for your baby: 

• The Munari Mobile (ages three to six weeks old) - This mobile is made of black and white, two-dimensional shapes and introduces high contrast colors that help infants develop visual stimulation.
  
  
• The Octahedron Mobile (ages five to eight weeks old) - Presenting bright, primary colors, this mobile allows your baby to notice the difference between high-contrast vivid colors. The three-dimensional shape encourages your little one to focus using their two eyes at the same time.
  
  
• The Gobbi Mobile (ages seven to ten weeks old) - This mobile uses five spheres in varying shades of the same color, lined up perfectly in a neat series. The gradient design helps improve your baby’s chromatic sense.
  
  
• The Dancers Mobile (ages eight to thirteen weeks old) - One of the best types of mobile and the most visually compelling, the dancers are made to look like abstract human shapes to mimic the smooth movement of dancers. The way it sways in the air and catches the light encourages better visual tracking and deeper depth perception.

You’ll notice movement can develop your baby’s eyes by encouraging them to track the soft movements of the figures hanging over them, while the changing colors leave them happily and curiously transfixed.
