One of the most practical and complete toys in this first stage of baby development is the gym-blanket. Indicated for babies from birth It is a first step for your child to become familiar with a space different from the crib and the arms of dad and mom, who will undoubtedly enjoy observing how their baby happily accommodates wrapped by his new companions: the musical penguin, the elephant with a mirror and the lion with colored rings.
Gradually, your child's curiosity will demand the discovery of new spaces and will be attracted to the colors, sounds and different textures of objects. The gym blankets always include a mirror, which is essential for the development of one of the child's first skills: self-recognition. It is essential that you perceive yourself, in order to be within an environment. The mirror returns an image that he will soon identify as his own face, and you will see him put his hands to his face and gesture while recognizing these movements as his own.
The different objects which includes the gym-blanket they encourage you to explore Y they stimulate you both visually and auditory, since they emit funny sounds and melodies. These sounds also help the child to understand the cause-effect relationship, that is, if you shake the penguin, it sounds, and you will feel part of this adventure, looking for the complicity of its parents, who will probably smile at you and applaud your feat.
Face up or face down: your first gym
Whether you son is restless how quiet The gym-blanket brings numerous benefits. For restless children, it allows them to explore new spaces, change activity and position constantly, while calm children are stimulated and helped to awaken their senses.
You just have to arrange the different elements so that the baby can interact with them whether they are on their backs or on their stomachs, hanging them on the hoop or holding them on the blanket, so you can change their position and encourage them to do it on their own.
Remember that your child will learn more and more on his own, but your presence is very important not only to supervise and take care of him, also because you feel like sharing his games, stimulating him and above all, because enjoy an activity together unites you even more if possible.
If you still do not have a blanket of this type, it may be interesting to consider what I did, suggest it as a possible gift to one of the people who did not know what to buy my son and who insisted that I wanted something that I could enjoy and not leave forgotten in a corner. I guarantee it was one of the most amortized gifts for all.
A detail that some may not seem relevant, to me and I tell you from experience, is that the blanket can be machine washedWe already know how our children like to leave a mark on everything they touch, including our hearts.
