The Senses

• As baby looks at the Frog Kick & Mirror with the colorful smiling faces the various floating sea-creatures, the motion of the water and the glowing sparkles, she develops her sense of sight.

Gross Motor Skills

• When baby kicks at the kick-pad, she strengthens her leg muscles and her awareness of her feet.

Cognition

• The Frog Kick & Mirror contributes to baby's understanding of cause & effect, the link between baby?s actions and the resulting reaction: when she kicks the kick-pad with her feet (cause), she causes interesting activity in the aquarium (effect).
• An action that begins quite randomly, gradually becomes intentional as she learns about her ability to make things happen. With practice she learns that there is a link between the force of her kick and the motion she creates, so that when she kicks harder, the movement is stronger, causing the creatures in the water to bounce about more, and vise versa.

EQ

• The motion of the car shakes the Frog Kick & Mirror and causes the water in the aquarium to move, and the sea creatures to gently ?swim? about. This movement of the water and the sea creatures focuses baby?s vision, calming her and even making her sleepy.
