| Product Details | | | | | A Day at the Seashore is a soft surface cloth play book that enables parent and baby to enjoy a world of shared communication with an ocean full of three dimensional pop outs, multiple textures, peek-a-boo activity and more...
Senses
* A Day at the Seashore develops baby’s sight through illustrated pages and three-dimensional objects which open before her eyes encouraging her to look at them.
* Soft and hard fabrics in different shapes encourage baby to touch, feel and explore, stimulating her sense of touch.
* Crinkly sounds scattered throughout the pages of the book encourage baby to listen.
* When baby looks, touches and listens – she develops coordination between the senses.
* The three-dimensional aspect of the book enables baby to better sense the objects. The fact that they ‘come to life’ before her eyes draws baby’s attention and stimulates her to look at them, to extend her hand, explore and feel them with her fingers.
Fine Motor Skills
A Day at the Seashore enables baby to practice a variety of fine motor skills:
* She can flip through the stiff pages of the book with one, two or more fingers, and discover the hidden objects underneath when she lifts the three-dimensional elements up or down, to the right or to the left.
* The book also invites baby to practice coordinating her hands so that one hand holds the book while the other pulls or grasps the stimuli that appear between the pages.
Cognition
* A Day at the Seashore develops baby’s cognitive skills such as learning, memory, and curiosity.
* The pages of the book include activities that encourage baby to explore again and again: she tries to see how the three-dimensional objects appear between the pages of the book and lifts the flaps to discover what is hiding underneath.
Object Permanence
* The book helps baby to develop understanding of object permanence through a variety of peek-a-boo games, so that for example, when she turns a page she discovers the figures that appear on the next page. And the next time she turns a page, she will find them again.
* Each page offers activities that are particularly designed to practice object permanence, such as the crab hiding under a rock, the fish behind the waves, or the bird behind the cloud.
Language and Communication
* The illustrations that accompany the brief engaging texts, encourage baby to listen, to make a connection between the text and the pictures, and to develop her language skills.
* From the age of 9 months, baby begins to make a connection between objects and words. The illustrations and the figures throughout the pages of the book, and which baby encounters again and again, provide an opportunity to enrich her vocabulary: This is a bird. This is a crab. This is a boat sailing on the sea…
* As baby grows, and becomes familiar with the world of the sea, she will enjoy looking at the scenes described in the book: the large castle built in the sand, the crab warming himself in the sun, the dolphins playing with a beach ball, and so on. |
