The Senses

• The Gymini® TOTAL PLAYGROUND™ -- Kick & Play™ activity gym offers a truly multi-sensory play experience, with the variety of sounds and images on the blanket and hanging toys, along with varied sensory stimulation provided by the different fabrics, textures and shapes.
• Baby gazes at the toys, strokes and explores them with her hands and mouth, developing coordination between the senses.

Gross Motor Skills

• When in the prone position, the Gymini® TOTAL PLAYGROUND™ -- Kick & Play™ activity gym encourages baby to lift her neck and shoulders while gazing at her reflection in the extra-large mirror or the illustrations on the border, strengthening her neck and shoulder girdle.
• When baby extends her hand and bats the toys, or kicks the Kick & Play™ response pad with her feet, she strengthens her arm and leg muscles.
• From the sixth month, baby is drawn to the Kick & Play™ response pad which she strikes to elicit flashing lights or music. This helps baby's ability to support her weight with one hand.

Fine Motor Skills

• The hanging toys invite baby to reach out and strike or grasp, first by chance and later quite intentionally as control over her arm and hand improves. This helps develop hand-eye coordination.
• The interesting and diverse structure of the toys help baby practice different grasping methods, as well as opening and closing her hand, pulling, and later, coordination between the two hands.

Cognition

• The Gymini^® TOTAL PLAYGROUND™ -- Kick & Play™ activity gym offers a multitude of opportunities to experience cause and effect, such as batting at the hanging toys to make them swing, or kicking or striking the Kick & Play™ response pad and causing the lights to flash or the music to play.

Language and Communication

• The classical music selections contribute to baby's language development. Both are made up of a sequence of sounds that together compose "musical sentences."
• Both verbal and musical sentences are received by the brain as a sequence of sounds, and baby learns to process and organize these sequences into a meaningful form.
• The Gymini® TOTAL PLAYGROUND™ -- Kick & Play™ activity gym offers high-quality classical music pieces, that when listened to repeatedly stimulate the part of the brain responsible for speech.
• When baby looks in the mirror, she laughs as she sees the baby in the reflection laugh back. She "talks" to her reflection, initiating an enjoyable "dialogue." This helps develop her language and communication skills.
