User questions & answers

Question:	Would like to ship/mail this item to Asia. What is the absolute smallest size it can be folded into so that I can put it into a box for shipping
Answer:	Hi! You can roll up the two cross arms into a coil shape and zip tie together. They will coilup tight enough without breaking (measured diameter with tape measure) and fit into the bottom of a 16x16x16” box. The padding should roll up pretty tight and you could even vacuum seal or zip tie it. Then stuff the rest on top. If you have any room you can cut the box down to make it shorter in height for a decrease in shipping cost. Hope this helps.

Switch between 3 sets of discovery flash cards (High-Contrast Art Cards; Shapes & Colors; Animal & Nature Discovery) to spark baby's curiosity. This gym not only grows with baby, but it also allows you to document, celebrate, and share monthly developmental milestones with soft, numbered blocks.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is this mat good for a 7 month old who is not crawling yet
Answer:	It’s a great mat as long as you don’t mind that the music and lights break after 3 days. I bought two and both started to act up after only 2 days. I returned both. It’s too bad the company hasn’t fixed this issue.
Question:	Is this good for newborns of two weeks old
Answer:	Thank you for reaching out to us! Parent mode will play continuous lights and music. Child mode will be activated when your baby pulls and jiggles the toy bar. If your gym arrives with try-me batteries included, please remember to replace them with regular batteries. The included batteries are intended for short-term, try-me in store use only.
Question:	What is the difference between parent and child mode for sound and lights? Will the music stay on for a sustainable period of time
Answer:	CHANGE THE BATTERIES!!!!!!! My goodness I’m amazed at how many people say the “gym is defective” 5 - 15 days after purchase as music stops or makes a buzzing sound. The batteries are trial batteries and therefore need to be replaced for normal batteries when you receive the play gym. Thankfully this gym will ensure the babies turn out to be smarter than the adults as it’s full of objects that promote sensory learning and early development. It’s a brilliant gym that will be used for a long time 😊
Question:	What do you have to say about all the reviews of the music breaking
Answer:	Pretty long. Approx 60 inches.

Product features

Area of the mat to focus on from 0+ months

Areas of development: Neck, Core, and Arm Strength; Vision

What to do: Keep baby engaged and motivated during tummy time with high-contrast colors and new sounds and textures. Notice how your baby’s facial expression changes when Mom touches the textured tentacles of the octopus. As you approach Month 3 together, encourage visual development by introducing the high-contrast prop pillow to tummy time. Because baby can only see black, white & gray first, high-contrast objects help their little eyes adjust to the world around them.

Area of the mat to focus on from 3+ months

Areas of development: Touch

What to do: Place your little one on their tummy and encourage them to reach for and grip the colorful tags. Gently run their fingers along the different textured strips and see how they react to the unique sensations of each.

Area of the mat to focus on from 6+ months

Areas of development: Mouth Exploration, Fine Motor Skills

What to do: Use the grasp and hook play features to encourage grasping. As baby practices hooking them onto the ribbon, name their colors and shapes out loud to help connect the dots between what they’re touching and what you’re saying.

Area of the mat to focus on from 9+ months

Areas of development: Concept of “Where” What to do: Play peekaboo with the red bird finger puppet, hiding it behind your back, and then revealing it again once your little one starts looking for it. To build listening skills, show baby that the bird makes a chirping sound, hide the bird, and watch them track the sound. These exercises help baby discover that just because an object is out of sight, that doesn’t mean it is gone. To introduce the idea of “in and out,” place the bird in its pocket. Ask baby, “Where did the bird go?” and encourage them to look for it. Once they find the partly hidden bird, try hiding it under a blanket to grow their curiosity beyond the mat.
