Apple and Orange Experiment
With your right hand, show your baby a red apple from about 8 to 10 inches from her eyes. Say, “Apple, apple, apple.” Then let her touch the apple, and say, “Apple.” Bring it near her nose and allow her to smell it, and say, “Apple.”
Do this apple experiment at least three times in two minutes, then repeat it three more times during the waking hours. Do this for three days.
On the fourth day, show her an Orange on your left hand. Repeat the same method as you did with the apple. Do it four times a day for three days.
On the seventh day, show the apple on your right hand and the orange on the left, from about 10 inches from her eyes. Make a space of about 8 inches apart between the two fruits.
Then say, “Where is the apple?” Observe her eyes and hands. See if she will look consistently at the apple every time you say, “Where is the apple?”
If you think she got it right, switch the apple and the orange. The apple should be on your left hand. Ask again, “Where is the apple?” If she looks at the left hand where the apple is, that means she knows the appearance of the apple and the sound associated with it.
You can start this experiment when your baby is as young as 4 months old.
It might about 2 to 4 weeks for your baby to know which is the apple or the orange.
