Developmental Values
- Helps develop gross motor skills. Follow Me Fred barks to invite baby to follow him and encourages her to start crawling. His speed can be adjusted as baby becomes better and faster.
- Enhances cognitive development. Activities that trigger intriguing feedback encourage baby to experiment over and over again, helping her understand causal relationships.
- Fosters emotional intelligence. As babies follow their adorable new friend everywhere, they learn to relate to Follow-Me Fred and his "needs."
Age Tips
- 6-8mo: Before baby begins to crawl, place Follow-Me Fred in its circular mode. Alternate between clockwise and counterclockwise.
- Place the toy in front of your baby on the floor and touch it to trigger its movement forward. The cheerful music and slow movement will attract baby's attention and encourage her to reach forward and eventually to start crawling.
- 8 mo & up: Show baby how to make Fred move by tapping it.
- Occasionally, position Fred so it will move toward baby.
