Product Information

Young children playing with toys use their imagination to invent scenarios and play out the consequences. Babies who handle shapes and also fit them through a hole are learning to solve problems through touch and sight. Babies can perceive input from different sensory systems in a unified way; for instance, vision and touch are closely coordinated when using a shape sorter. Spatial skills can also be enhanced when playing games that require concentration, quick responses and finely tuned motor skills. During the first year of life infants’ visual development is rapid and they begin to identify objects through shape, colour and texture.

VTech Go! Go! Smart Wheels 3-in-1 Launch and Go Raceway

Social interaction is important for language development and turn-taking games are a fun and educational way for babies and young children to learn. Babies begin to learn about conversational turn-taking from an early age; if a baby is babbling the adult waits for a pause and then talks to the baby.The set contains various track pieces, plus a SmartPoint racer that plays three fun sing-along songs and six melodies. It helps them to begin to understand that other children think differently to them and have different ideas. 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.

Infants first use the ulnar grasp where their fingers close against the palm when trying to hold an object. br /> From an early age babies use touch to investigate their world; as they learn to reach they begin to run their tongue and lips over toys and then look at them. There are social skills involved in language acquisition such as realising that it is necessary to wait until the other person has finished speaking. Children who use their imagination when playing with other children are increasing their social competence and their understanding of other people.

Infants also learn about the links between sights, sounds and feel of toys when these are demonstrated by adults. After the first year, infants adopt the ‘pincer grasp’ where they use their thumb and index finger to grasp even very tiny objects.

Adults can facilitate babies’ language development by playing with them, focussing on particular toys, reading books and naming everyday objects. Not only will children have fun speeding along at one-hundred miles per hour, this set also encourages language development and imaginative play. Toys that name alphabet letters and everyday words satisfy young children’s need for repetition and rehearsal when practicing words and sounds. Sound and movement attract a baby’s attention; if a toy is placed almost within reach of babies their movements become more animated. The grasping, at first, is quite clumsy but through repetition, and across time, infants become adept at grasping and develop fine motor skills.In a study where we observed children playing in a nursery we found that young children engaged in imaginative play, often using the toys in unexpected ways. Imaginative and social pretend play is beneficial for children as it allows them to explore different ways of viewing the world. Sensory development in babies can be facilitated through toys that provide opportunities for them to experience sounds, visuals and textures.

VTech User’s Manual - VTech

Young infants need to be presented with an adequate but not too great amount of sensory stimulation. You will often see young babies in a bath reaching with their legs towards a floating toy and kicking. br /> Children can engage in imaginative play with other children where they have agreed on a story or scenario that they want to act out.Each track piece is designed for little hands so your child will develop fine motor skills while re-arranging the raceway and connecting the tracks to other Toot-Toot Drivers® play sets! Young children pretend or imagine that, for instance a wooden block is a cake and they carefully ‘cut’ it.
