Ensuring your baby is stimulated is an important part of their development.\u00a0 As a parent, it’s our duty to ensure that our children are appropriately developing their tactile, gross motor & fine motor skills, through cognitive, auditory and visual stimulation.\u00a0 In short, we need to cultivate their sense of sight,\u00a0touch, taste, smell and hearing.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, we have to make sure we don’t overstimulate our babes.\u00a0 Babies are often overstimulated with their environment or when we give them too many things to focus on.\u00a0 That’s why it’s important to find the right balance. \"Playgro<\/a><\/p>\n

One of the ways parents can\u00a0properly stimulate their\u00a0children is by giving them\u00a0appropriate toys to play with.\u00a0 However, as well all know, not all toys are created equal.\u00a0 Some promise to\u00a0help with\u00a0your kid’s development but they fall short on that spectrum and provide only a few minutes of entertainment value. So… which ones should a parent select? \"Playgro<\/a><\/p>\n

Recently, Playgro<\/a> provided me with two Activity Friends for my sons; Roary the Lion and Pooky the Puppy.\u00a0 There’s several things that immediately caught my attention as a parent.\u00a0 Besides being super cute, the toys are brightly coloured and are a perfect size for small hands.\u00a0 They make a small rattle sound when\u00a0you shake them\u00a0and they are made from various textured material.\u00a0\u00a0They also include two hanging rings from them, perfect for chewing.\u00a0 Once your baby grows, these toys can continue to entertain and stimulate them\u00a0through pattern, colour and shape recognition. The complete set includes\u00a0a third friend, Blossom the Butterfly.\"playgro<\/a><\/p>\n

Playgro makes it easy to choose the right toys as products are sorted using the \u201cAge for Stage\u201d system: specific products target specific developmental stages from birth to 12 months and beyond.<\/p>\n

Both Roary & Pooky have saved us from a bored and crying baby on several occasions, especially the many 2 + hour rides we took up to the cottage this summer.\"playgro<\/a><\/p>\n
