Vtech Crawl and Learn, Bright Light Ball

Product Information

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. This enables the baby to continue with their experiment and learn more about cause and effect; babies learn a great deal through repetition and it is good to facilitate opportunities where babies can begin to understand that, for instance, a toy will always fall to the ground. 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. Even in their first year babies are distinguishing between musical tunes on the basis of rhythmic patterns and later they begin to recognise the same melody played in a different key.

Adults can influence an infant’s confidence about the world by encouraging and smiling at them when they approach an unfamiliar object or toy. Adults can facilitate babies’ language development by playing with them, focussing on particular toys, reading books and naming everyday objects. 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. Toys that name alphabet letters and everyday words satisfy young children’s need for repetition and rehearsal when practicing words and sounds.Babies who handle shapes and also fit them through a hole are learning to solve problems through touch and sight. The cube is packed full of sensory fun, interactive phrases, sound effects and includes 3 sing-along songs and 15 melodies.

After the first year, infants adopt the ‘pincer grasp’ where they use their thumb and index finger to grasp even very tiny objects. br /> As soon as babies are born they are influenced by what they hear around them and modify what they able to hear, accordingly.Giving babies plenty of opportunities to hear music, singing, rhythm and talk enhances their learning and prepares them for the social world where they will talk, sing, play and listen to music. Infants also learn about the links between sights, sounds and feel of toys when these are demonstrated by adults.
