Advantages: Good for motivating baby to move
Disadvantages: none really
I visited some friends with a young baby the other day and discovered their baby crawling around ( well more squirming around on her tummy really) She was crawling after and trying to grab a Bruin peek a boo roller she did this for about a minute before her attention went elsewhere , the toy was left on the floor and about 5 minutes later she discovered it again and started bashing it about.
This peek a boo roller is an inflatable toy. When inflated it is a soft PVC cylinder. It is a beautiful blue colour with pictures printed on of teddy bears and other animals. Babies respond well to pictures of faces loving the eyes nose mouth combination. There are a few clear windows in the blue these are for baby to peep through and see the inside of this roller. Inside are are some colorful jingle balls. My friend’s baby was shown these balls through the peek in window; she looked for a moment then bashed the roller. The balls jingled so she did it again, the balls jingle when this toy is pushed along the floor.
The sounds are an incentive for baby to push this toy .The windows are maybe a little small I think the rollers I have seen with larger see through areas are better.
This toy will encourage motor control from your baby strengthening her/his arms while they push and bash this toy. It will encourage crawling as baby will like to push it away and then try to get it again this will strengthen her/his leg muscles.
It will also help a baby discover that if they push/ bah this objects it will move and jingle. A babies world is full of first experiences discovering what will happen if. Toys like this will widen their experiences safely as this is a safe toy.
This toy is available from several on line shops it is mostly available at toys/babies are us at the price of £.3. 99p or $9.99 web site addresses www.toysrus.co.
Bruin has been making toys for many years. The name Bruin means a baby brown bear. It comes from the name of the bear in a translation of a Dutch story about Reynard the fox. Bruin is the Dutch word for brown.
Bruin toys are good they seem to last long enough for baby games. I would recommend a toy like this to encourage baby to crawl and to discover what happens if. Babies like knocking things down and the resulting clatter. Have fun playing with your baby’s toys .Mary
Summary: A coloured plastic cylinder that has jingle balls in it for motivating baby to crawl
