A Multi-Sensory Experience The ActiviTotTM developmental gym develops the senses by stimulating hearing, sight and touch. The soothing sounds of nature emitted by the mirror and the various sounds made by the vertical toys, the dangling toys and the activities spread around the mat, not only sooth and entertain baby, but encourage her aural development. The colorful vertical toys and simple colorful drawings draw babys attention and provide the necessary stimulation for developing her vision. In addition, the range of materials such as the various types of fabrics and hard and soft plastics which are integrated in the mat and toys, help stimulate babys sense of touch as she holds the various items with her hand and explores them with her mouth. Activitot also develops coordination between these senses as baby explores the colorful toy in her hand and mouth, feeling the different textures and listening to the sounds. Gross Motor Skills The ActiviTotTM developmental gym is the ultimate solution for encouraging your baby to lift her head - the special pillow is designed to support your baby and help her to remain on her tummy, strengthening her neck and shoulder muscles. In addition, the musical mirror that is placed in front of her at a comfortable angle, encourages her to keep looking at her reflection and stay in this position on her tummy. The colorful toys in front of her stimulate her attention, helping her to remain on her tummy for a longer period, continuing to strengthen her neck and shoulder muscles. Later, from the sixth month, your baby will begin to reach out and grab at the vertical toys or strike at the mirror, practicing to lean on one hand and shift her weight from one hand to the other. The arches and toys can also be placed in different positions around the rim of the mat - encouraging your baby to turn around to see them, helping develop her crawling skills. Fine Motor Skills The toys hanging within arms reach encourage baby to reach out and strike them first randomly and gradually more intentionally so she practices and develops eye-hand coordination. Later, she will bat at and hold the hanging and vertical toys pulling, shaking and so on, and play with the activities on the mat pulling the ear, pressing the horn and more. Cognition - Cause and Effect ActiviTotTM provides many experiences for understanding cause and effect, as your baby strikes the toy in front of her vertical and hanging causing it to sway, or strikes the mirror in order to hear the music. Object Permanence From the fifth month, babies begin to relate to the disappearance and reappearance of objects from their field of vision. ActiviTotTM provides your baby the opportunity to experience objects appearing and disappearing as she lifts the rabbits ear or the leaf on the mat, the rabbits face appears and disappears. EQ Iin the beginning, babies depend on outside help to sooth themselves. The special structure created by the crossed arches, together with the defined borders of the small pillow reminds baby of the softness of the round protected womb, soothing her. The nature sounds coming from the mirror, filling the air with soothing sounds also contributes to the calming atmosphere, In addition, when baby looks in the mirror, she sees the reflection of a baby looking back at her her face and smiles at the smiling face and babbles to it, practicing initial social interaction. Language Your baby looks into the face of the baby reflected in the mirror and begins to smile and babble at the smiling face. In this way, the mirror encourages baby to make talking sounds. 1-2m The modular arches, when attached crossed over each other, create the Arches Effect, a defined space giving your baby a sense of protection as she lies on her back. The special pillow forms a pleasant, comforting and embracing place, and the nature sounds music from the musical

The tummy time pillow in not a great success but is not really needed as tummy time on the mat is entertaining enough for him. The volume on the musical mirror is too high and we dont switch it on.
Overall he loves the playgym and spends 1+hour on it a day. Its a safe place to leave him when you need to do something else for a short time. The pineapple is a particular hit.

Moving the hoops and toys around creats a new environment everytime my baby plays on his mat. He loves the mirror and pushes it around the mat where ever he goes. I bought it when my baby was 4.5 months old, I wish I'd bought it when he was younger but we will still get plenty of use out of it.

I bought the development gym for my grandsons who are 6 weeks and 5 months. They have differing devlopment needs and I've found that it suits them both. It is bright cheerful and holds their attention. For the older one it stimulates his mobility and he loves the noises. For the younger one he is fascinated by the colours and watches the hanging animals.

My 3 month old daughter loves this playgym. I looked at numerous different gyms before she was born and chose this one due to the range of activities and good reviews that it received. I currently have the hanging toys over her head for her to reach at. She pulls these about and loves the palm tree leaves which have a crinkle sound. The mirror, which plays tunes when hit is also a nice feature. I am sure that she will use this for months to come as she becomes more mobile and is able to explore the many features on the mat. Overall a brilliant playgym!

Previously had the Mama's and Papa's Barnaby Button Snuggle Rug and Gym, but baby got bored, and I think I got it actually because it matched my decor more than anything else! :-) But this product is brilliant. My little one has pretty much played with it everyday for the past 4 or 5 months and she loves it. The inflatable pillow helped her learn about playing on her tummy as well. It's easy to setup and transport around. Very chuffed with this product, by far one of my best baby buys.
