Toy system for children of all abilities from the National Lekotek Center
Sensory development relates to a child’s ability to gather and understand information from the environment through any of the five senses—hearing, tasting, touching and/or smelling. Children develop a sensory preference (how they prefer take in information) and a sensory process (how they respond to sensory input).
The Sit-to-Stand Learning Walker is two toys in one. The detachable activity panel can be placed on the floor for young babies to push buttons, spin rollers, and open doors, activating music, sounds, and words (colors, animals, shapes, numbers). For the emergent walker, the activity panel may be snapped back on the walker and the child can continue to learn as he/she grows and moves. The unit automatically powers down after a short period without input.
“Two Tuba Switch” is a book and corresponding toys dedicated to the story of a boy who switches into objects due to his extreme shyness. When the main character turns into a tuba he must overcome his shyness when he is accidentally taken to an unfamiliar home. The toys match the book so that a child can act out the story as it was told or create his own story line.
