Activity gyms provide plenty of stimulation for babies. Toys attached to the gym can be biffed, pulled or kicked, which promotes movement and enhances brain development. Interesting materials strung across the play gym provide an endless source of entertainment and an all-round learning experience for baby.

The bright colours, lights and sounds also encourage baby to spend time on her tummy. It is vital that baby spends time on her tummy if the crawling stage is not to be missed. Crawling is an important developmental milestone that develops both sides of the brain and leads on to later reading and writing success.
