Slide, press, roll and flip lots of fun features; turning book plays familiar nursery rhymes, piano keys introduce colours, numbers and music. br /> From an early age babies use touch to investigate their world; as they learn to reach they begin to run their tongue and lips over toys and then look at them. The cube is packed full of fun, interactive phrases, sounds effects and includes 4 sing-along songs and 10 melodies. After the first year, infants adopt the ‘pincer grasp’ where they use their thumb and index finger to grasp even very tiny objects. There are social skills involved in language acquisition such as realising that it is necessary to wait until the other person has finished speaking.

Manipulative features include beads and gears for motor skill development, sliding monkey and butterfly encourage interaction and shape sorter develops hand- eye coordination. The grasping, at first, is quite clumsy but through repetition, and across time, infants become adept at grasping and develop fine motor skills. Infants first use the ulnar grasp where their fingers close against the palm when trying to hold an object. Babies begin to learn about conversational turn-taking from an early age; if a baby is babbling the adult waits for a pause and then talks to the baby.

Infants also learn about the links between sights, sounds and feel of toys when these are demonstrated by adults. Spatial skills can also be enhanced when playing games that require concentration, quick responses and finely tuned motor skills.Young infants need to be presented with an adequate but not too great amount of sensory stimulation. You will often see young babies in a bath reaching with their legs towards a floating toy and kicking. Social interaction is important for language development and turn-taking games are a fun and educational way for babies and young children to learn.

During the first year of life infants’ visual development is rapid and they begin to identify objects through shape, colour and texture. Kicking and waving their arms while lying in their cot can lead them to discover that a kick can make a banging sound. Your little one will love exploring seven fun activities and two electronic panels that introduce colors, numbers, animals and more. Adults can influence an infant’s confidence about the world by encouraging and smiling at them when they approach an unfamiliar object or toy. Toys that name alphabet letters and everyday words satisfy young children’s need for repetition and rehearsal when practicing words and sounds.

Babies can perceive input from different sensory systems in a unified way; for instance, vision and touch are closely coordinated when using a shape sorter. Once babies are either crawling or walking their mobility gives them more opportunities to explore their world. The confidence to explore and discover new things develops during infancy and creates a healthy curiousity about the world throughout childhood.

When young babies watch a mobile they are constantly moving their head, arms, legs and even their mouths in response to the movement of the toy. Adults can facilitate babies’ language development by playing with them, focussing on particular toys, reading books and naming everyday objects. Sound and movement attract a baby’s attention; if a toy is placed almost within reach of babies their movements become more animated. Babies who handle shapes and also fit them through a hole are learning to solve problems through touch and sight.Sensory development in babies can be facilitated through toys that provide opportunities for them to experience sounds, visuals and textures. The activity cube also develops hand-eye coordination with the shape sorter and colorful shape blocks.
