Multiple ways of playing!
Infant from birth begin to have an awareness of others and objects. Although the baby's most favorite toy will usually be faces, these colorful and high contrast pages encourages visual exploration during tummy time or other play positions and spaces. We especially love this toy for the mirror, because young children around 4-6 months old are starting to recognize their reflections and gives them something to look at as they have their tummy time and even begin to crawl.
When they begin to sit-up, they can gain postural stability, balance, and coordinate their movements while moving their hands, grasping and improving their finger dexterity to play with the attached teethers.
Language. Use the pages to show babies interesting pictures (sea creatures, vehicles, animals, moon and sun, and different colors. It can be a great way for adults to narrate and have conversations with babies while playing together.
Creative Play. The first play skill children engage is what we call sensorimotor play, which uses the different senses -- sight, sounds, taste, touch, smell -- and also supporting early motor skills. That's what makes this toys an excellent choice!
Kids will naturally play and think outside the box. Providing them with open-ended toys encourage them to look for different ways to play with it. They can enhance play skills with the toy itself or jointly with other toys, while folding in activities to stimulate language and cognitive skills.
