Product Information

One packet relays battery and sticker installation, and another showcases six train station playset track configuration suggestions. For role-play fun, pick up the walkie-talkie and press the number buttons to pretend to talk to animal friends. Toys that name alphabet letters and everyday words satisfy young children’s need for repetition and rehearsal when practicing words and sounds.

Young children playing with toys use their imagination to invent scenarios and play out the consequences.

The grasping, at first, is quite clumsy but through repetition, and across time, infants become adept at grasping and develop fine motor skills. My 22-month-old son is excited by all vehicle types; trucks, fire engines, cars, and especially trains.

I tried to fix one sticker, and it was stuck pretty hard already, so it ripped slightly when I tried to pull it off. You will often see young babies in a bath reaching with their legs towards a floating toy and kicking. Spatial skills can also be enhanced when playing games that require concentration, quick responses and finely tuned motor skills. I tested out “Figure 1,” which features every single piece, and it took me about 30 minutes to get it assembled with a lot of frustration.VTech toys offer babies and children the opportunity to learn more about cause and effect by pressing buttons and listening to the sounds, moving toys around and playing educational computer games. After the first year, infants adopt the ‘pincer grasp’ where they use their thumb and index finger to grasp even very tiny objects.

Slightly older children can help build the set, understand the features, and not tear it apart right after building it. In a study where we observed children playing in a nursery we found that young children engaged in imaginative play, often using the toys in unexpected ways. I don’t have a ton of space in my apartment, and since my son wasn’t in love with it, I couldn’t keep it assembled at all times. Toys that reliably make a noise when pressed, pulled or touched teach babies that their actions have an effect on the world. Also features new connection points for more versatile play (Includes adaptors to fit original tracks).

Children can engage in imaginative play with other children where they have agreed on a story or scenario that they want to act out. Babies can perceive input from different sensory systems in a unified way; for instance, vision and touch are closely coordinated when using a shape sorter.

He tried to work the hand-crank feature to get the train up the incline, but pretty soon, he was breaking apart the set and moved onto other toys. The train also helps build find motor skills with a variety of manipulative features including a storybook, clock, gears and 13 doubled-sided letter blocks that your little one can plug into the side of the train to learn letters and build their vocabulary. When young babies watch a mobile they are constantly moving their head, arms, legs and even their mouths in response to the movement of the toy. Smart Wheels Train Station Playset caught my attention with its bright colors and SmartPoint talking features, so I was excited to test it out with him.

When your little conductor gets older, the caboose converts into a wagon they can fill with toys and pull along to help develop gross motor skills. A delightful example of this is when babies begin to explore gravity by dropping toys whilst sitting in their highchair. Infants first use the ulnar grasp where their fingers close against the palm when trying to hold an object. Spark your child’s imagination as they combine the track pieces into lots of different combinations. It helps them to begin to understand that other children think differently to them and have different ideas.
