A Baby Einstein Bendy Ball which is a soft, flexible plastic that is made for little fingers to bend and squeeze. This toy has a colorful caterpillar on the center band that lights up and has buttons to push to make music. It also has a colorful rattle ball inside for an additional sound. This squeezable ball is intended for young infants who ages 6 months and up. Toddlers love eye catching and musical toys which they can listen, observe, and develop the ability to “hit” at toys to make movement and/ or sound. This Einstein Bendy Ball is appealing to infants at this age because it has many different textures that the child can explore with their mouth. Also because it’s a very colorful; therefore, it catches a young infants eyes. At this age, infants begin to develop and use the primary senses such as sight, taste, touch, and sound. When playing with this bendable ball a child is able to detect the colors, grasp and bring towards mouth to taste, and intently listen for the sounds that takes place. …show more content…
Therefore, given that the child is using this toy at 6 months, I would say they would be put into the sensorimotor stage. This stage coordinates the senses with motor response, sensory curiosity about the world. Along with language and object permanence development. Since the toddler is still in the first stage of development they begin with sensation, perception, and learning. This stage is a great deal for a child, it’s a time of tremendous growth and change. In this age group of 6 months and older, they tend to interact with the bendy ball by tasting and putting it in their mouth and perhaps use it as a teether toy. Infants will also interact by “banging” or “throwing” the toy,
This is when parents need to be aware of where their child where about are. Infants are known to start crawling at this age. They also grab things and pull things towards them. Parents need to be very observant that their infants at this age do not put anything in their mouth that could make them choke.
The toy picked for the toy evaluation in child and development psychology class was a Transformer for the suggested age of 3. A brief description of the Transformer will be given to identify the characteristics and how they are suitable or not suitable for the recommendation age listed. The toy will be analyzed on specific qualities that relate to how it can foster growth of the child and be evaluated on what the necessary abilities are needed to play with the unit. This toy will also be evaluated as it pertains to how the child would play with the car and if the child would be able to grasp the concept of the Transformer. Other cognitive concepts will be applied to how the Transformer is used and if the child would be able to understand
The “Toy Paper” is a research paper assignment for Child Development which we are to complete an in-depth analysis of the usefulness of a specific toy of our choice. The toy itself will be evaluated by three various stages in relation to cognitive, developmental, social and cultural perspective in addition to discussing topics which relate to the toy and its possible use by the child. The toy I have chosen for my topic to write about is the “Laugh & Learn Smart Stages Puppy” which is a toy designed by Fisher Price for children ranging in age 6 to 36 months it contains 50+ sing along songs, tunes and phrases. A testimonial by a parent stated, “the interactive components of the puppy are engaging, the songs are fun and the different levels allow
While some children were playing “house” others were taking part in constructive play. In this stage, toddlers have a deep understanding of what various objects can do and will now try to build things with the toys and everyday objects they find around them. One child had a box of blocks and was building a train track. Once he finished he assembled a line of trains to ride along the track he had just built. He repeatedly made noises that trains usually make such as “choo-choo.” Other children were interlocking Lego blocks and creating various structures while some were playing with play-dough and sculpting
I would like to place Lilo from the movie Lilo and Stitch, into the following theorists, Piaget and Kohlberg’s theory.
3 to 6 months Reaches for a toys. Moves a toy from one hand to another. Put objects into mouth. Waves arms to show that they wish to
The baby will enjoy playing with toys that are within their reach and will stare at them for a long time. They will also enjoy repeating actions over and over again the effects of the actions could be that this could emotionally make the baby feel happy and have the ability to go around and explore the environment with their hands and
This toy is connected to information processing because this theory states that memory grows with age and experience. The more the child hears the noises associated with the picture of the animal, the more likely it will be permanently stored in their long-term memory. Core-knowledge theorists believe that language is a specialized domain of knowledge therefore, it comes more naturally to children. So, one thing a parent could suggest to enhance their child’s cognitive development is to have the child repeat the sound out loud and then say what animal it is associated with. Due to the fact that language comes more easily to children, talking out loud can help the child learn the noises each animal makes and keep it in their long-term
Laura Schulz’s presentation, The Surprisingly Logical Minds of Babies, explores the idea of how babies and young children are able to learn so much in such a short span of time. In Schulz’s presentation, the viewers see multiple video experiments where she introduces babies to different balls and toys that make noises. I choose to explain and break down the first experiment, that she discusses. In the first experiment Schulz has a colleague reach into a bucket with mostly blue balls and a few yellow balls. The colleague pulls out three of the balls and when she takes each ball out she squeaks them. The colleague then pulls out a yellow ball and hands it to the baby. The child copies what Schulz’s colleague has done, but however the
Child with Mild Hearing Loss- The teacher will use visual aids to assist the child. The child should be capable of creating his/her teddy bear using the materials provided. The student use the visual aid as guide in him/her creating their own bear. The teacher should speak slowly, clearly, and loud enough for the child to hear
Babies at 6months- they have learnt many skills by now and are very alert to noises and things going on around them and will turn their heads to see what is going on around them. They so enjoyment smiling, laughing or making noises and can now reach to grab an object. They can have a focused attention on certain objects that seem interesting to them and will explore ways to hold them or uses them. They also begin to show a simple understanding of what they are being told and try to communicate with them.
* They begin in some instances to feed themselves, though lacking the needed coordination, resulting in a lot of mess.
Do babies get bored? Let’s find out. In this simple experiment, it will be seen how much a baby is interested in toys or objects. By counting how many seconds the infant stares at them can help reveal what is inside the baby’s mind as shown by the baby’s behavior in terms of staring at and then looking away from the toys. What is being observed in this experiment is the length of time the baby pays attention to a given toy before the baby looks away from the object. So the baby is introduced to certain toys several times until the baby gets used to or habituated to them. This simple experiment will tell us how the baby’s brain works and how this may affect the baby’s learning skills in the future.
Through play our learning and development extends. We discover new ways to achieve a goal such as, fitting differently shaped cubes into their correct holes. By twisting and turning the cubes children begin to understand that the shapes correspond to the holes on the ball.
Infants begin experimenting different sounds and actions through a trial-and-error pattern in order to be exhibited to the parent’s attention often. During this stage, infants show goal-directed behavior displaying purposeful responses to other people. For instance, a crawling baby will show goal-directed behavior by crawling to a covert in the kitchen, where his sippy cups are stored, taking one out holding it up and grunt to his father as if to say, “I’m thirsty!” Their actions are purposeful. Another important thing happening in the secondary circular reactions sub stage four is that infants achieve object permanence. Object permanence is when an infant is watching an object which then disappears, the infant is still thinking about it or can try to look for object. Even if it is out of sight, it is still on
