-Bounce-back grashopper with crinkly wings

The Senses:
-The colorful toys and the movement of the colorful beads develop baby's sense of sight. 
-The different sounds: the rustling of beads, the sound made when squeezing the woodpecker's tail, the ding of the bell and the crinkle of the wings, all help develop hearing. 
-The wide range of materials: different fabrics, smooth and textured plastic, provide a wealth of sensations and develop baby's sense of touch. 
-With baby looking, touching and listening she develops her senses and the coordination between them.

Fine Motor Skills:
Each of the toys offers several fine motor and eye-hand coordination challenges, and baby must use her fingers and hand muscles in different ways: 

-She must pull the pink ball with her entire hand or knock the woodpecker’s head to hear the bell ring. 
-She must squeeze the woodpecker’s tail with several fingers to hear it squeak. 
-She must hit the flowers on the bottle holder with force in order to make the beads roll around. 
-In this way, baby uses her hands and improves her control of them.

Cognition:
As she plays with the toys, baby learns the connection between her actions and their responses: 

-Pulling the pink ball will make the woodpecker peck at the bell. 
-A light tap on the grasshopper will cause it to sway and the beads to rattle around gently, and a harder knock will cause it to bend downwards and the beads to move about faster and the noise to be louder. 
-Squeezing the woodpecker’s tail will cause it to squeak.
