Baby Buzz'r Sea Turtle
This toy provides a range of sensory experiences. It lights up for visual input and plays soothing lullabies. It gently vibrates, which promotes an improved sense of body awareness.
Double Sided Mirror/High Contrast Board
Young infants see the world in black, white, and shades of gray. High-contrast shapes support vision development and will be interesting to look at. The other side of this board is a mirror, which babies might enjoy around 4 months.
Whirley Pop Lights and Music Station
This activity station toy has suction cups on the bottom and can be attached to any hard, flat surface. This gives the infant different angles from which to view, reach, pull, and interact with the toy.
