Can anyone help with raising a kitten?

I found a kitten while doing yardwork last week at my mother's, it was very tiny and did not have it's eyes open. I kept watching the area for a while and waited to see if a mother cat would come to get it but no one showed up except our tomcat and I was afraid he would try to hurt it. I brought the kitten home and have been bottle feeding it for 8 days now. It's eyes opened last Wednesday. It is eating great and growing like a little weed but I'm not sure what to do to socialize it. We play with it often after feedings and it wobbles around and snuggles but what do I need to do as far as visual things? There are no other cats at my house and whatever it learns will be from humans. Should I take it outside to check things out? Should I introduce toys, colors, etc, into it's area? When should I introduce the litter box? Any experiences that anyone can share would be greatly appreciated. I've researched things online but I would like to hear from anyone that has hands on experience with raising kittens or any other animal, any information would help. Thanks!
