Massager vs. Sensorial Toy

Spiky Sensorial Experience



I'm not sure if this is a child's toy or if it's just a hand held massager.  I decided it's a sensorial toy that "Roonie" can use as a teether or to massage her chunky thighs.  Usually I roll it over her arms and legs to see if she likes it.  I'm unsure of how much she likes this toy, I hardly see her exploring with it.  I'll keep you updated if she likes it at a different age.

I purchased this at a consignment store and it was labeled as "eco friendly toy", if you know what brand of toys may make this toy or if you've seen it at a store in the health area for massage.  I would love to know if it is in fact a toy or not.

Skwish

The Skwish


This toy was recommended by my instructors. 
I got this one on Amazon for only $14 as compared to some places where it was priced at $25. The first time "Roonie" saw this toy she smiled, It's extremely visually stimulating and if your baby falls on it the toys skwishes down so your baby is not hurt, or so you can easily fit it into your purse.  "Roonie" likes to shake it, I think she likes the sound of the wooden beads moving across the wooden bars.  Anyway she definitely will concentrate on this toy for about seven minutes.

Crawling

Wooden Floor Tumbler


This toy helps to encourage crawling and also can be used as a rattle.  Adinda uses it only as a rattle because she is older.  My son will hopefully use it to help encourage crawling.  This I also found at a children's consignment store.

Walker

Radio Flyer Red Wagon Walker

We had this walker wagon in the model classroom where I took my Motessori training.




This walker wagon was a little tricky to construct but well worth it for all the use.  Adinda has ridden in the wagon while her sisters push her and now she is walking with the wagon.  What makes this wagon so perfect for beginning to walk is that it has a little it of resistance when you push it so it doesn't get away from the baby.
