Playing with this toy
You can try to place your baby on the Gymini Total Playground Kick & Play activity gym, and play the Mozart selection. Hang the toys between 8 to 10 inches from her eyes, the optimal distance for vision at this age. Some babies feel comfortable with the Gymini Total Playground Kick & Play activity gym right from the very start, while others prefer a small, more enclosed place, such as a cradle. It’s possible that your baby will not show signs of interest in the gym until the third month. Move the duck chime so that it rings, which is a very pleasant sound for newborn babies. The Gymini Total Playground Kick & Play activity gym can be used as a diaper changing surface when needed. Just open the arches and let them fall down for a large and pleasant changing surface.

3-4 months

• It stimulates sight with colorful toys, clear illustrations and blinking lights. 
• It stimulates hearing with classical music, and a variety of other sounds. 
• It stimulates touch with a wide range of textures and materials.

• When baby is lying on her tummy, the large mirror and illustrations on the borders and blanket encourage her to lift her head and neck. 
• The Kick & Play response pad encourages baby to kick and strengthen her legs. 
• When lying on her back, the hanging toys invite baby to reach out to touch, bat and move them, as well as practice her grasping capabilities. This helps develop fine motor skills and perfect hand-eye coordination. 
• The Gymini Total Playground Kick & Play activity gym offers a multitude of opportunities to experience cause & effect, such as batting the hanging toy and making it swing, or striking the respond pad and causing the lights to flash or the music to play. 
• It contributes to EQ in two ways: quality classical music and borders that help baby to relax, and
• the mirror that allows her to explore her reflection and learn about facial features - the foundation of developing body image.
• As baby looks in the mirror she is encouraged to make sounds. 
• Listening to classical music contributes to baby’s development of language and communication skills.

Playing with this toy
Periodically place your baby on her back under the arches and hang the toys within reach of both her hands so that she can bat at them. To encourage your baby to practice raising her head and neck, periodically place her on her tummy on the blanket so that she can gaze at the pictures on the blanket and border. Periodically place your baby on her tummy so that she can see the Kick & Play response pad.
