Playing with this colorful parrot with lots of stimuli such as rattling rings, teether feet, and a ratchet-sound tail will encourage development of baby's senses, motor skills and cognition. Suitable from 1 Month.
Senses
Baby Parrots colorful fabrics and black & white tummy develop babys sight.
The sounds emitted by the Baby Parrots crinkly wings when rubbed or the legs when shaken develop hearing.
The feel of the different textures and materials (fabric, soft bumpy plastic, hard plastic) help develop the sense of touch.
The combination of all these stimuli encourages baby to watch and explore with her hands and mouth.
Gross Motor Skills
When baby tries to reach her hand out to the Baby Parrot in front of her she lifts her arm as one unit, an action which starts where her arm meets her shoulder, strengthening these muscles and those all along her arm. These muscles are part of the group of muscles used when developing gross motor skills.
Fine Motor Skills
Baby uses her hands in different ways, practicing and developing fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination. Following are some activities she may perform:
Bat at the Baby Parrot dangling in front of her.
Hold the Baby Parrot.
Grab the parrots legs, beak and wings and shake them to hear the sound.
Cognition
When baby bats the Baby Parrot causing it to sway, she learns the connection between her actions and their reactions.
1-3 Months
Baby watches the Baby Parrot dangling in front of her.
From about the age of two months, she randomly hits out with her hands towards the toy hanging in front of her, batting it and making it move. This amusing reaction urges her to try again and she quickly learns that her hand caused the toy to swing.
She reaches out again and gradually her random movements become more deliberate, developing hand-eye coordination.
Attach the Baby Parrot to the Gymini® Activity Gym, ActiviTot Developmental Gym, or baby carriage so that your baby can see it, and at a distance can easily reach by stretching out her hand. Because babies cannot reach beyond their mid-line, it is important to hang the toy on or towards the side.
4-6 Months
Babys grasp reflex disappears and her control of her hands improves, allowing her to reach out confidently, grab the toy and play with it.
She holds one of the parrots legs and pulls.
She shakes the parrot to hear the rattle.
She rubs the wings to hear the pleasant rustling sound. She brings the teether feet to his mouth for further exploration.
Hang the Baby Parrot so that your baby can easily reach it and hold it, helping him exercise his holding and pulling skills.
Show your baby how to make the rattling sound by shaking the parrot.
6 Months+
Let your baby play with the toy using her hands to practice hand coordination (one hand holds while the other pulls), and to explore the toy with her hands and mouth.
