Play & Develop
Cognitive Development
Looking up at the suspended balloon, baby’s basic understanding of the physical space around them starts to develop. When they make the balloon move, they are introduced to the cause and effect process, learning about how their bodies interact with surrounding objects.
As your child holds the rattle in their hands, they feel its texture and weight and begin to make a connection between the feel of an object and its appearance. Emphasize this by touching different rattle parts and saying, “smooth” or “soft.”
Exposing baby to the balloon’s color, movement, sound, and different textures in the safe environment of their crib or stroller, expands their understanding of the world, ignites curiosity, and sparks their interest to discover more.

Physical Development
Baby’s hands spontaneously encounter the suspended balloon, soon prompting voluntary movement, and reaching and grasping then follow. Show baby how to pull the ribbon rings and crinkle the flags. When they begin to do this themselves, it enhances their fine motor skills.
As baby’s feet move, they touch and activate the music and sound in the suspended balloon, encouraging kicking and foot-eye coordination. Reinforce the connection for baby by extending the leg for them to activate it and expressing delight at the result.
Engaging all baby’s senses with the multi-textured materials, colors, and playful music, develops visual and auditory skills, and enhances tactile stimulation. Its simultaneous activation of several sensory pathways at once strengthens the development of these processes.

Social & Emotional Development
When baby taps the balloon, it is activated with ease, creating an exciting reaction of sights and sounds. These provide a sense of accomplishment, boosting baby’s feeling of self-confidence. Reinforce the feeling by exclaiming, “Good job!”
Lie with your baby on the playmat under the balloon suspended overhead, snuggle close and point out the different elements. Experiencing it together, but differently, allows baby to begin to understand how other individuals have experiences different from their own.
For toddlers, every little win is a huge confidence boost, and the spout offers many simple accomplishments that were developed for their precise abilities – from aiming the water stream and ‘catching’ it with the tumblers, to stacking the cups.
