Musical Fantasy

Note: Review only, product no longer for sale.

Vivid colors, intriguing motion and beautiful music combine to make this toy a favorite!

Beautiful and inviting musical toy that encourages children to touch it. Once the base has been wound, the balls and springs rotate and the music plays. Even a gentle or random hand motion will cause the balls to wave and clack together. An old-fashioned musical mechanism inside plays a gentle classic children's melody. Base is 6" in diameter. (Color of the base may vary.)

Play Tip!

The Musical Fantasy is perfect for an exciting game of peek-a-boo with a cognitively young child. Develop the concept of "object permanance" (the knowledge that when an object is out of sight, it still exists.) Wind up the Musical Fantasy and place it within easy reach for the child. Drape a light fabric over it and say "Where is the toy?" When they uncover and find the toy, say "peek-a-boo!" The music and motion make excellent auditory and visual cues for the cognitively young child.

Bringing Two Hands Together In The Midline

Look for toys that offer many grasping points like the Nobbly Wobbly, the Winkle, or the Skwish. Place the child on his or her back. Offer the toy to the side of the child, moving the toy slowly towards the child's midline. Alternate sides, concentrating on the weaker side if there is one. Gradually the child will begin reaching out with both hands. This is especially helpful for premature babies, children with hypotonia, Down syndrome, Cerebral Palsy , and general developmental delays.
