Take the infant outside, and show him/her the plants ensuring that plants are nontoxic and safe for children. Talk about what the infant sees. Describe the plant. “Here's a pink flower. These leaves are long and skinny. These leaves are smooth.” Inside, give the child an edible plant, such as a head of bok choy, to touch and explore.
