Senses
* The Magnet Mates’ smiling faces, animal illustrations, vibrant colours, mirror and array of designs on the mates’ hands and feet stimulate your baby’s sense of vision.
* A variety of sounds (chirping, rustling and crinkling) develop her sense of hearing.
* The combination of different materials, smooth and rough plastic rings, teether and vibration (the jitter on the pink doll’s leg) provides experiences with different textures and sensations that stimulate baby to explore with her hands and mouth, and develop her sense of touch.
* Using her hands, exploring and playing with the Magnet Mates, she develops not only her senses, but also the coordination between them.
Fine Motor Skills
* Magnet Mates provide baby with many opportunities for using her fingers and hands such as holding an object in the palm of her hand or shaking it..
* They encourage baby to use the pincer grasp -- rub the hair with her fingers, cover and uncover the hidden animals in a game of peek-a-boo, grasp the plastic rings.
* They encourage her to use both hands -- to join parts of the Mates together by their magnets, separating them again, pulling the flexible legs with the jitter -- all of which require use of both hands and coordination between them.
Object Permanence
* Magnet Mates encourage baby to play peek-a-boo games with the ladybird and butterfly that hide under the flap on the bottom of the Mates’ feet.
* These games contribute to your baby's understanding that objects continue to exist even when she doesn't see them.
Cognitive Skills
Many surprises can be found on the Magnet Mates which encourage baby to explore more and more:
* The dolls enable baby or the toddler to discover a new, interesting phenomenon – the magnetic field. The magnets in the mates’ limbs and tummies provide for a fascinating experience: discovering the magnetic limbs and exploring their magnetic attraction to any metallic surface such as a refrigerator, or each other.
* By finding the stretchy leg and stretching it, baby discovers the enticing phenomenon of contraction accompanied by vibration and sound.
* The Mates allow baby to explore and discover sounds, sensations, peek-a-boo, the mirror, etc.
EQ
* The smiling faces of the Magnet Mate characters encourage the toddler to treat them as if they had human traits with emotions and needs.
* Making the Mates hold hands or hug expands the game to include relationships between the characters: between mother, father and child; between siblings; between friends; etc., which is how the Mates contribute to baby's emotional intelligence. |
