A baby activity centre is a type of activity toy that helps babies learn and develop different skills. It usually has a variety of activities, such as buttons to press, levers to pull, and gears to turn. Baby activity centers can help babies develop their fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, and cause-and-effect understanding.
Most babies start using activity centers around 6 months old. But every baby is different, so your baby may be ready to use one sooner or later.
Here are a few signs that your baby may be ready to use an activity center:
Yes, there are different types of baby activity centres. Some are designed for babies who are just starting to sit up, while others, such as activity tables and activity walkers, are made for older babies who are starting to stand and walk. There are also activity centres that can be attached to a stroller or car seat, so your baby can play while on the go.
No, baby playgyms are not quite the same as an activity center. A baby activity playgym is a type of toy that helps babies develop their gross motor skills, such as crawling and standing. It usually has a few simple activities, such as hanging toys that your baby can reach for and grab. An activity center has more activities and is designed to help babies develop their fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, and cause-and-effect understanding.
Yes, baby activity centres are safe when used as directed. But as with any toy, it's important to watch your baby while they're playing. Make sure they're not putting any small parts in their mouth, and that they're not banging the activity center on their head. If you have any concerns about the safety of an activity center for your child, talk to your child's doctor or a health professional.
