Grow With Me Toys

Grow With Me Toy

LEARN & GROOVE MUSICAL TABLE
This activity table is a great "grow-with-me" toy. The legs come off so children learning to sit or just starting to crawl can enjoy all the lights and the music. Add the legs for children learning to pull up and stand independently. The leg are built with a wide stance so it doesn't tip over while your child pulls themself up.

The activity table features both English and Spanish, colors, counting, numbers, concepts, shapes and music. This table literally grows with your child and is a favorite well after they have learned to walk and speak.

Imagination Creation Station

"We're making London". I love their little imaginations. I also love these Magnitiles. I like to call them 'imagination creation station' because there are so many possibilities. 

By using these magnetic geometric shapes children learn math and science, hand - eye coordination, uses their fine motor skills and opens up their creative critical thinking (cognitive). Best part, FUN❣️❣️

Washing Hands

Wash Hands

The next time you wash your child's hands, try singing this little song to the tune of "Where Is Thumbkin"

Tops and bottoms, tops and bottoms. In between, in between. Rub them, rub them, rub them. Scrub them, scrub them, scrub them. Now they're clean, now they're clean.

By the time you finish singing the song, their hands are clean. There may be times when a second round of the song is needed, depending on how dirty their little hands are.

Otteroo

"Otteroo makes your baby’s transition from mommy’s tummy to bath to pool fun and easy. Our floatie, which can be used as early as 8 weeks old, works with water’s buoyancy to support early motor development in your baby while encouraging exploration. Your baby will love the sense of freedom and independence he gets from being able to move his arms and legs and body without the restrictive force of gravity that he may feel on land.  It is a great way to start building your baby’s lifelong love of the water."

While there is some controversy about the Otteroo, our little one loves it.  It took about 5 minutes for him to adjust to it but once he got the hang of it he loved it. The freedom to move on his own in the bathtub has actually transferred over to tummy time. We have noticed that he is more active during tummy time and is trying to roll over about 6 weeks ahead of schedule. We love it.

**Please remember to follow the safety instructions and NEVER leave you child unattended in the bathtub.
