Intervention
Parent-infant dyads from both groups participated in the intervention for six weeks. All the toys were included in an age-appropriate toy package. The parents in the control group were interviewed about the toys they used to play with their infants, as well as how much time they gave their babies to play with them, and how many times a day the baby liked to play with them. Based on the information presented by the parents, the investigator educated the parents regarding the need for giving toys to the baby on a regular basis for his or her continuous development. The experimental group received a ready-to-use play kit and detailed instructions on how to use the toys. A detailed description of the toys used, games, and targeted motor skill development is provided as a supplementary document. The intervention lasted for six weeks, with at least two to three 20-minute sessions every day. A follow-up assessment to check the adherence of the intervention was done at the second and fourth weeks. To assess post-intervention outcomes, the co-investigator visited the participants’ homes.
