Which toy is mentioned as helpful for stimulating visual perception in infants?

  1. A plush stuffed animal.

  2. A brightly colored mobile.

  3. A mirror cube.

  4. A musical rattle.

The correct answer is: A brightly colored mobile.

The brightly colored mobile is particularly helpful for stimulating visual perception in infants because its vibrant colors and dynamic movement can attract babies' attention and encourage them to focus on and track objects. This type of visual stimulation is crucial for their developing eyesight and helps enhance their cognitive processing abilities as they begin to learn about their environment. Other options, while engaging, do not offer the same level of visual stimulation. Plush stuffed animals may provide comfort but typically lack the contrasting colors and movement needed to capture an infant's attention effectively. A mirror cube can be interesting but may not provide the stimulating visual effects of a mobile. A musical rattle engages auditory senses more than visual, which is less beneficial for enhancing visual perception in infants.
