Why we love it

As baby gifts go, Mind Shapes receive our seal of approval because it reflects more than forty years of research on infant vision. This toy utilizes a assortment of shapes, textures, colors and sounds to stimulate your infant′s developing sense of vision.

Product Features

• In the first few weeks of life infants can only see black and white. These soft Mind Shapes have bold geometric patterns that help stimulate your baby's abilities, to focus and develop his/her eyesight.
• They also have different textures to help develop their sense of touch.
• Normally soft balls and blocks are a challenge for little ones to get their hands around, or they are too small to be safe. These shapes are the perfect solution. They are soft so that a toddler can squeeze them in their hand and grab hold of them. When he/she does, the toy will emit a crinkle, rattle and chime.
• Your child will love to grasp two shapes and see what happens as they bang them together. These are a great baby toy.
• As your baby's upper body strength increases he/she will learn how to wind up and throw the shapes to you. But they may not be ready for the big leagues yet. Throwing is much easier for a child at this age than catching.
• Before your child can catch a ball out of the air, practice by having them catch� it on the floor. Roll the ball to them at a distance and have them trap it with their legs or their hands.
