Baby Gyms

What are baby gyms?

A baby play gym is a super fun structure designed to stimulate your little ones and help them understand the world around them.

Typically, they feature several exciting hanging toys or shapes in a variety of unique textures for babies to touch and feel.

To use your baby activity gym, simply place your little munchkin on their back beneath and watch them excitedly reach up to explore the array of brightly-coloured shapes above - a special moment for parents to treasure.

Our play gyms are simple to assemble and crafted from smooth, gently sanded wood, featuring rounded edges and six dangling toys - including three wooden animals and three colourful fabric shapes, such as a friendly elephant and a gentle cheerful sun that your baby is sure to love.

You can choose a set with an included play mat

Some of our infant play gym sets come with a soft foam playmat that is pleasant to touch and easy to clean - simply machine wash and dry.

A play mat also offers a comfortable and safe surface for your child to sit or engage in rolling and it also supports your child during tummy time and other activities.

Or, you can simply purchase a baby gym without a mat if you’d rather - the choice is yours!

At what age should I start using a baby play gym?

Baby gyms are perfect for babies that are just a few months old - at KiddyMoon, our play gym sets are tested from 0+!

Our smooth wooden frames and foam mats help to create a super safe environment for young ones to sprawl across comfortably.

The benefits of baby gyms and baby playmats

As well as being heaps of fun, there are so many fantastic advantages to play gyms and playmats, including:

Cognitive development

By gazing upon and grasping for the play gym toys, your tot develops essential shape and colour recognition skills.

Additionally, if you speak to your tot as they use their play gym, they’ll start to develop essential language skills - this will support and encourage them down the line when it comes to their cognitive and intellectual development skills at school.

Fine motor skills

As your child looks upon and grasps each toy, they're strengthening and learning to use the smaller muscles in their hands, fingers, and eyes - also known as fine motor skills.

These skills are vital for growth and independence in later life, helping children to be able to complete everyday tasks, such as tying their shoelaces, eating, and brushing their teeth.

Sensory stimulation

Play gyms are an excellent way to stimulate your child's senses, helping them to discover and explore the world, and make sense of their surroundings.

By touching the mix of smooth wood and rustling fuzzy elements, and feeling the sensation of lying upon a soft fabric playmat, your tot will actively engage their senses and gain an understanding of how things feel.

Crinkling sounds also add to your little one's sensory experience and help them learn more about their environment and cause and effect as they press each rustling shape.
