It may seem like all fun and games, but baby is truly working hard as they play! During tummy time sessions, baby is busy building key head, neck, and back strength as they push up, roll over, and reach for items and images on the mat. These actions support baby’s gross motor skill development, helping them grow toward sitting independently, lifting objects up, and later crawling and walking!
Every play session helps baby grow more independent. As baby grasps, squeezes, touches, points, and explores, they’re building the fine motor skills they’ll need as a toddler to hold a crayon, pick up a small object, or fasten a button. Ask baby to point to each character, touch a colorful ribbon loop, squeeze the squeaker toy, or lift the peekaboo leaf – as you do, you're helping baby build those smaller muscles, one day at a time.
When playtime’s over, store baby’s new favorite activity mat neatly. This play gym features a foldable design that stores perfectly in a diaper bag for travel or until baby’s ready for the next play session.
