| Product Details | | | | | The Under the Tree soft surface cloth play book enables parent and baby to enjoy a world of shared communication with 3-D pop outs that encourage motor skills, multiple textures to stimulate the sense of touch, peek-a-boo activities, and more.
Senses
* The colorful illustrations, sound and sensations stimulate baby’s senses
Fine Motor Skills
* The Under the Tree Play Book offers baby a range of opportunities to develop a variety of fine motor skills: the act of flipping over the book’s pages, and taking the child and animals in and out of their cloth "pockets" requires baby to use her fingers in different ways.
Cognition
* The Under the Tree Play Play Book develops baby’s cognitive skills such as: understanding the world around her, her curiosity, and ability to explore and learn.
* The play book offers an opportunity to teach a growing child about some aspects of the world outside her home: grass, trees, a swing, animals, etc. and to discover objects and animals that are found in nature.
* Each page/scene includes activities that encourage baby to be active and to explore again and again.
Object Permanence
* The play book helps baby develop her sense of object permanence through peek-a-boo games.
* Each time baby turns a page she discovers the elements featured on the next page. And the next time she turns the same page she discovers them again.
* The scenes of animals hiding – the chick and the cat in the leaves of the trees, the frog inside the bush – enable baby to play hide and seek with these creatures.
* The peek-a-boo games offer practice in object permanence.
Language and Communication
* Baby learns to make a connection between objects and words, develops a basic vocabulary, and enriches it.
* The illustrations and the figures baby encounters again and again in the book, as well as some outside her home – give her the opportunity to enrich her vocabulary: This is a cat. This is a slide. This is a tree...
* The texts are engaging and enrich baby’s experience and language skills.
* The texts include instructions for the growing infant on what to do with the different figures: Help Dan slide down the slide. Hide the frog between the leaves, and so on. The play book helps baby understand simple instructions.
* The illustrations enable parents to improvise, and thus enrich baby’s language skills by naming the objects that appear in each scene (This is a slide. This is a swim ring), by describing the scenes that take place (The boy slides from the top to the bottom of the slide. The boy wants to bathe in the pool), and by adding practical language tools (Why do we need a swim ring?).
EQ
* The scenes enable parents to tell stories that describe feelings and relationships between the various characters in the book: the children enjoying playing together, the family of fish, etc. |
