The brand teams up with childhood
development expert to educate families on the impact sensory play
has on cognitive milestones
FOXBOROUGH, Mass.,
Nov. 28,
2023 /PRNewswire/ -- The first
year of a baby's life is filled with crucial cognitive milestones,
from understanding language and exploring their surroundings to
learning how to interact with loved ones. In line with
this, Tiny
Love, a pioneer in infant developmental
products and the first to conceive and patent the Gymini — a play
mat with attached arches — has been a global leader for over 30
years. With a mission to support families from newborns to
toddlerhood, Tiny Love reinforced
its 6 Developmental Wonders™ at an exclusive event in New York City. The brand leaned into the
importance of sensory and cognitive play for today's infants in
partnership with Erin O'Connor, a
distinguished professor at New York
University's Steinhardt
School of Culture, Education, and Human Development, Chief
of Education at Cooper, and co-host of
the Parenting Understood
podcast.
Stimulating a baby's cognitive development is especially
important as a recent study found that
the increased use of technology among infants is linked to
developmental delays in communication, fine motor skills and
problem-solving abilities.
"Tiny Love takes pride in
creating products that are designed to stimulate your baby's
senses, foster development, encourage bonding, and create moments
of wonder throughout their first year of life," said Natalie Thompson, Tiny Love Brand Marketing
Lead. "Through enjoyable playtime for parents with children from
infancy to toddlerhood, we're able to facilitate bonding moments
for many families."
The 6 Developmental Wonders™ include:
- Cognition: Cognitive skills are the mental processes
through which we understand our world.
- Communication: Language and other forms of communication
to share our ideas, thoughts and feelings.
- Motor Skills: Fine motor skills are related to the hand,
palm and finger muscles as well as to the muscles surrounding the
mouth and eyes. Gross motor skills are related to the muscles in
charge of movements like sitting, crawling, walking and more.
- Senses: Through our five senses, we receive and process
information from our surroundings.
- Creativity: Creativity is the process of transforming
imagination into reality and the ability that allows us to
improvise, take initiative and solve problems.
- Emotions: Understanding the basics of EQ can help
encourage a child's emotional development and create a healthy
basis for growing and learning.
From the Tiny Love Magical Tales™ Black &
White Gymini and Tiny Love 5-in-1 Here I Grow Stationary Activity
Center to the Wonder Buddies
Interactive Toy - Coco the Mouse, Tiny Love products are thoughtfully crafted to
promote early childhood development.
"Together with Tiny Love,
we aim to empower parents with the knowledge they need to make
informed choices about their children's toys and habits, ensuring a
bright future for our little ones," said Erin O'Connor, Professor at New York University. "Tiny
Love shares my passion for early childhood development and
it's wonderful to help educate parents about their 6 Developmental
Wonders™."
