Take Along Arch (Tropical) by Tiny Love

• Enhances vision and fine motor skills. Colorful toys hang from the arch at the optimal distance for visual and tactile stimulation, inviting baby to reach out and strike or grasp.
• Develops baby's gross motor skills. When baby extends his hand and makes the toys move, this encourages him to do it again, strengthening his arm muscles.
• Contributes to cognitive development. As baby learns that her actions cause the toys to swing, she is internalizing the concept of cause and effect.

Age Tips 1-2 months

• In order to develop their visual focus, babies at this age need visual stimulation and movement placed at the optimal distance from their eyes –- 8-12 inches (20-30 cm).
• The Take-Along Arch's three toys all swing when the stroller moves, offering inviting visual stimulation for baby to gaze at.

Playing with this toy

• Make certain that the toys are suspended at the optimal distance, approximately 10 inches (25 cm.), from your baby's eyes.

Age Tips 2-4 months

• The Take-Along Arch™ offers an excellent opportunity to develop eye-hand coordination, as baby reaches out and learns to touch the toys directly.
• First by chance, then by the end of the fourth month, on purpose, as baby strikes the toy and causes it to sway.
• In the fourth month, baby enjoys holding the toys, bringing them to his mouth for further exploration – developing his sense of touch.

Playing with this toy

• Make sure that the toys are suspended within your baby's reach.
• At this stage, your baby cannot bend his arm and will only be able to reach forward, without crossing midline. The toy hung in the middle is for visual stimulation only.
