Our developmental mobile combines a multitude of fascinating movements and motions, with classical music by Bach, Mozart and Beethoven.
A multi-sensory experience
The Symphony-in-Motion? stimulates baby's sense of sight and hearing. Through its four movements, the mobile draws baby's attention, inviting her to actively gaze and follow it as it moves. Three carefully chosen classical music selections, each one different from the other and played repeatedly, develop baby's sense of hearing, and draw her closer to the world of music. The integration of auditory and visual stimulation helps develop coordination between these senses as well.
Fine Motor Development
The mobile contributes to the development of the eye muscles. Because of their weak eye and neck muscles, it is difficult for newborn babies to follow or track objects. The mobile's slow, smooth movements draw baby to follow them, helping to develop and strengthen these muscles.
Object Permanence
The moving objects that disappear and reappear from baby's field of vision, at fixed intervals, contribute to internalizing the concept of object permanence.
Cognitive Skills
The layered effect of the toy, with the hanging toy to the cone to the beads teaches baby the concepts of below and above, as she discovers each layer. Later on, the music box helps teach baby about cause and effect; the four buttons invite her to press them, and to receive auditory feedback immediately.
EQ
The integration of music and movement helps calm baby, as she learns ways of calming herself.
Language and Communication
The musical cadence contributes to baby's language development. The mind receives and absorbs music similarly to verbal communication, organizing it and rendering it into a meaningful form.
0-1m
During the first few weeks, baby will be lying with her head on the side, since her neck muscles are too weak to hold it straight, and since she can't look straight ahead, there is no need to install the moving mobile part for the first two or three weeks. The music alone, however, offers an excellent development aid. It's advisable to install the turning mobile by the fourth week. This will encourage baby to straighten her head and look toward the mobile overhead.
1-3m
The white cone and black rings offer sharp, contrasting visual stimulation to focus on. After this, she will focus on the moving objects and follow them, as they appear and reappear from her field of vision.
4-5m
With the onset of binocular vision and depth perception, baby can now enjoy the full breadth of the mobile, and can enjoy it from a distance. Baby will enjoy the falling beads, and follow them. She sees how the toys are organized, from the bottom up, and from the top down, which contributes to spatial perception, and she enjoys the disappearing and reappearing objects, as she begins to understand object permanence.
6m+
When the turning mobile part is removed, the music box becomes a musical activity center, and baby busies herself with games of trial and error, as she uncovers all the wondrous possibilities ? like pressing the buttons to produce music, how to switch tunes, and how to turn it off. This is an all in one lesson in cause and effect, and great exercise to develop fine motor skills. |
