Description
One of our most popular baby toy, Wimmer Ferguson Mind Shapes are educational toys that are easy-to-carry shapes with funny noisemakers and an array of research-approved shapes and textures. And this is one of Liz Delizzes favorite toys for a newborn! DIMENSIONS: 4" DIAMETER
Why we love it
We absolutely LOVE Mind Shapes because they reflect more than forty years of research on infant vision! This toy utilizes an assortment of shapes, textures, colors and sounds to stimulate your infant′s developing sense of vision. Did we mention they are soft and squishy for baby′s delicate (but developing!) hands? These vibrant shapes also encourage babies to look, touch, and listen. They make the perfect baby gift.
Features and Skills
- 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.

Product Reviews
Most sites have product reviews. At ebeanstalk we do it differently. All our reviews happen BEFORE a product makes it on our site. Our team of child-experts looked at, tested and selected only the best toys. Then, they matched the toys to a child’s stage of development. Then they custom write an instruction card for each and every toy. This is the ebeanstalk review process. No other site does this; not even close. By conducting the review ahead of time, we ensure that our toys are the best and you can trust that the toys you are buying are matched to a child’s stage of development.
HOWEVER, we still want your feedback. If you'd like to tell us your impressions of a toy, please email us at feedback@ebeanstalk.com
