Product Information

Once babies are either crawling or walking their mobility gives them more opportunities to explore their world. Older infants can remember, for instance, how to press a toy animal to make a sound even if the toy is slightly different to the one which the adult used to demonstrate. 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. There’s also a light-up head button that will trigger a question and answer game for a different method of learning and playing.

The confidence to explore and discover new things develops during infancy and creates a healthy curiousity about the world throughout childhood.These memory skills can be enhanced through presenting visual stimuli more than once; repetition is essential for the development of memory skills. Place one of the eight food pieces into the hungry dinosaur’s mouth to hear fun responses and learn about foods, healthy eating and colours. Dino features 2 different modes of play, 5 press buttons that introduce numbers, counting, music notes and shapes and a light-up head button that will trigger a question and answer game to encourage play and repetitive learning.

Toys that encourage children to remember visual stimuli, answer questions and then repeat the activity over again enhance learning.Social interaction is important for language development and turn-taking games are a fun and educational way for babies and young children to learn. Young infants’ memories are influenced by context; for instance, they can imitate an adult’s actions with a toy but only if the toy is identical in colour and features to the one that the adult played with. This means that children can use deliberate mental activities, such as visualisation, to increase the chances of retaining information in working memory and then shifting it to their long-term knowledge base. Explore the five press buttons on the dinosaur’s side to discover extra sound effects and numbers, counting, shapes and more early-years learning. Infants’ memories become less context dependent at the same time that infants start to crawl and walk.

Kicking and waving their arms while lying in their cot can lead them to discover that a kick can make a banging sound. You will often see young babies in a bath reaching with their legs towards a floating toy and kicking. As babies develop they begin to use mental pictures of objects that are no longer within their field of vision. Toys that name alphabet letters and everyday words satisfy young children’s need for repetition and rehearsal when practicing words and sounds.After the first year, infants adopt the ‘pincer grasp’ where they use their thumb and index finger to grasp even very tiny objects. Spatial skills can also be enhanced when playing games that require concentration, quick responses and finely tuned motor skills.
