Baby Floor Gym & Mobile

Why Ariro’s  floor Gym and Mobile Elements ?

• From birth babies need something to engage themselves during their brief wake period and understand the world around them.
• This stand and its mobiles are the perfect aid to do so.
• The eyes of the baby are the first doorway to development. With a blurry view at birth, a baby can see only high contrast colors. The high contrast pillows helps with this.
• The pillows are pure cotton, hence also aids in tummy time exploration.
• We don't believe in making Hippos and Lions fly as a small child can't differentiate between reality and imagination.
• Well researched visual & tactile elements provided by our experts.
• When the child starts batting the beads support this and the rings ensure voluntary grasping is supported
• Wooden books can be placed on the side of the baby when the baby is on their back aiding in strengthening of the neck muscles
• The wooden books also can be used as a tummy time aid.
• The stand is made from sturdy beech wood and easy to set up
• The stand can be folded when not in use and stored away. It can be carried around from one room to another easily

Why Play?

Aids Visual Tracking

Strengthens the ability to follow moving objects with their eyes. The mobile's movement encourages babies to track and observe, developing visual tracking skills necessary for reading and other activities requiring sustained visual attention.

Improves Hand-eye Coordination

Enhances synchronization between vision and hand movements as babies reach for and interact with hanging toys. Visual stimulation from the mobile promotes motor development and brain growth, essential for grasping and manipulating objects.

Develops Spatial Awareness

Helps babies understand how objects relate to each other in space. As they reach for and move toys, they learn about distance, depth, and spatial relationships, which are fundamental for cognitive and physical development.

Develops Concentration

Encourages babies to focus on the mobile's moving parts, promoting extended periods of attention and concentration. This ability to concentrate is crucial for cognitive development and future learning tasks.

	Stage 1 - Visual Stimulation (Birth - 2M) Introduce the B/W pillow which has highly contrasting colours which the new born will be able to see initially, then move on to the Red & Black striped pillow before introducing them to many colours. Can also be used as a tummy time pillow
	Stage 2 - Wooden Books (Birth - 2M) Introduce, when they are on tummy time.
	Stage 3 - Tactile Mobiles 3m+ Introduce, when they start grabbing/bating stuff which would encourage them to grasp things and increase their gross motor skills.

What are the different things we can hang from it?

• Visual mobiles – start with mobiles that have black and white elements, then move on to those with primary colors before introducing those with many colors.
• Tactile mobiles – a simple wooden ring teether or light rattles can also be hung from the mobile – just ensure that it is secured well as your baby is quite likely to pull hard at it.
• Elements from nature – leaves, flowers and feathers found in nature can also be hung from the play gym – this is a great way to bring the outdoors in.
• Small plush or soft toys can be hung from the baby mobile.
• Small wind chimes or dream catchers can also be hung from the baby mobile.
• Simple and colorful scarves can be hung from the baby mobile
• It is important not to distract the child while they are at the mobile. Once you notice their concentration is moved to something else remove the mobile.
