Product Information

Spatial skills can also be enhanced when playing games that require concentration, quick responses and finely tuned motor skills. After the first year, infants adopt the ‘pincer grasp’ where they use their thumb and index finger to grasp even very tiny objects.

Pushing the Digger along triggers the motion sensor, which plays fun sounds as your child learns to walk. If babies are presented with an unexpected event where, for example, a moving toy train disappears behind a screen but does not come out the other end they will stare for a long time at the screen. You will often see young babies in a bath reaching with their legs towards a floating toy and kicking.Games where children can create worlds and populate them with their own characters can be beneficial.

Children benefit from social pretend play because it can help them to revisit events that may have provoked some anxiety in the past. By pressing the buttons on the side of the digger, your child will be treated to imaginative role play phrases that also teach numbers, shapes and colours. Infants first use the ulnar grasp where their fingers close against the palm when trying to hold an object. Fun phrases encouraging baby to pull the string makes the kitten move and the ball of wool turn which helps promote motor skills to your little one.

The kitten will play melodies and sound effects as the string is pulled enhancing auditory development.

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. Sound and movement attract a baby’s attention; if a toy is placed almost within reach of babies their movements become more animated. Nursery school children who spend more time in socio-dramatic role playing are also perceived as more socially competent by their teachers.

Scooping the balls into the chute and watching as they pop out of the pipe encourages motor skills and tracking.light up button and 4 shape buttons introduce imaginative role-play phrases while teaching numbers, shapes and colours. Role play is generally a social activity but some children can engage in solitary role play where they create imaginary companions. Light-up buttons, manipulative features and fun songs, sounds and phrases introduce age appropriate curriculum. Pressing the number buttons will introduce numbers and colours and will help develop fine motor skills.

Sensors detect when a ball has gone through the digger’s chute, triggering fun and encouraging phrases, songs and sounds. Role play enhances many cognitive abilities such as sustained attention, memory, language and literacy skills, and helps children to understand and manage their emotions. Toys that reliably make a noise when pressed, pulled or touched teach babies that their actions have an effect on the world. Children demonstrate that they have understood the concept of cause and effect when they talk about the consequence of actions. Includes 7 sing-along songs and 12 melodies and features an English speaking voice that promotes recognition and accelerates learning.The grasping, at first, is quite clumsy but through repetition, and across time, infants become adept at grasping and develop fine motor skills. This push-along digger is a fantastic learning toy, which develops your child’s tracking and motor skills as they learn how to walk. A delightful example of this is when babies begin to explore gravity by dropping toys whilst sitting in their highchair. For example, babies are beginning to understand that toys reliably fall to the ground and that if a toy train goes into a tunnel it will come out the other end.
