The Senses
The colorful toys hang from the arch at the optimal distance (10 inches or 25 cm.) to offer enticing visual, auditory and tactile stimulation.

Fine Motor Skills
The hanging toys invite baby to reach out and strike or grasp, first by chance and later intentionally as control over his arm and hand improves.

Gross Motor Skills
When baby extends his hand and makes the toys move, this encourages him to do it again, strengthening his arm muscles.

Cognitive Skills
As baby learns that his actions cause the toys to swing, he is internalizing the concept of cause and effect.

1-2m

• In order to develop their visual focus, babies at this age need visual stimulation and movement placed at the optimal distance from their eyes –- 8-12 inches (20-30 cm).
• The Take-Along Arch's three toys all swing when the stroller moves, offering inviting visual stimulation for baby to gaze at.
• Make certain that the toys are suspended at the optimal distance, approximately 10 inches (25 cm.), from your baby's eyes.

2-4m

• The Take-Along Arch™ offers an excellent opportunity to develop hand-eye coordination, as baby reaches out and learns to touch the toys directly.
• First by chance, then by the end of the fourth month, on purpose, as baby strikes the toy and causes it to sway.
• In the fourth month, baby enjoys holding the toys, bringing them to his mouth for further exploration – developing his sense of touch.
• Make sure that the toys are suspended within your baby's reach.
• At this stage, your baby cannot bend his arm and will only be able to reach forward, without crossing midline. The toy hung in the middle is for visual stimulation only.

4-8m

• With his well-developed senses and control, baby can now reach out and strike the toy, hold it and pull it to further explore it with is mouth. Making the toy swing helps him learn the concept of cause and effect.
• Change the position of the toys periodically, so that your baby can see the different toys from different angles.
• You can replace and exchange the suspended toys to offer a more diverse sensory experience.
