A SURPRISE EVERY MONTH

A baby play gym is one way in which you can boost your baby's development. The play gyms made especially for infants feature objects and designs that your baby will reach for. As your baby begins to reach, grasp, turn and kick, they will develop their hand–eye coordination and motor skills.

Your baby can grasp an object from the moment they are born. At birth, grabbing is a basic reflex but by the time your little one is three or four months old, they’ll be actively trying to grasp things with both hands. They'll work to reach and pick up favourite toys.

Toys for in the car, stroller or cot. Some contain high-contrast images to foster visual development, while others are designed to boost their hand–eye coordination. 

Push toys provide support for babies who aren't quite ready to stand or walk on their own. Teetering behind a push toy helps build strength, balance and confidence.

As your baby grows, they'll start enjoying toys that engage their senses. Sensory toys are designed to promote interaction in a variety of ways: they may make a squeaking or crinkling noise, have a nubby texture, and be soft and cuddly.

Starting from around 6 months upwards, babies gain the postural stability to be able to sit up by themselves. Sitting up while stacking allows babies to get used to stabilizing their core as they move about and use their hands. It also develops their fine motor skills, visual and spatial perception, language concept and creative play. 

Music toys help the body and the mind work together. Exposing children to music during early development helps them learn the sounds and meanings of words.

Babies and toddlers benefit from the motor skill activity of pushing and pulling, including improved balance and coordination.

Creative play is a vital part of childhood and child development. Through creative and imaginative play, children can grow emotionally, socially, intellectually, and even physically. Creative experiences help a child develop these skills and enable them to share their thoughts, feelings and ideas.

Puzzles help develop hand–eye co-ordination and fine motor skills due to the precise nature of matching each piece exactly. They also help develop basic skills such as shape recognition, concentration, goal setting, patience and a sense of achievement, which will stand children in good stead for school. 

The process of pretending builds skills in many essential developmental areas. When your child engages in pretend (or dramatic) play, they are actively experimenting with the social and emotional roles of life. Through cooperative play, they learn how to take turns, share responsibility, and creatively problem solve.

The basic function of toys is to create a fun time playing, but educational toys help your kids to develop fundamental abilities such as cognitive thinking and problem solving. Learning toys are specially designed to teach specific skills that your child needs at different ages.

Music toys help the body and the mind work together. Exposing children to music during early development helps them learn the sounds and meanings of words. Dancing to music helps children build motor skills while allowing them to practice self-expression.

Construction toys provide understanding of how pieces fit together and encourage comprehension of differing directions, shapes and space. Through critical thinking about whether a piece will fit, cause the structure to fall down or form the shape they desire, your child will utilize and foster spatial reasoning.

Playing games with your child will teach them about aspiration, success, and disappointment. They'll gain experience in both winning and losing.
