Musical Stack & Play™

Musical Stack & Play™

The Musical Stack & Play™ is an exciting 2-in-1 electronic stacking toy and ball game that offers a variety of play possibilities, keeping up with baby's needs over many months and several developmental stages.

Developmental Values

The Senses

  • The Musical Stack & Play™ offers a multi-sensory experience, and integrates feedback in the form of lights, sound and textures to stimulate baby's sense of hearing, vision, and touch all at once.

Fine Motor Development

  • As baby shakes the four balls, or bangs them together, there is a soft, pleasant rattling sound that helps develop coordination between both hands.
  • This continues as baby learns to insert the balls into the funnel-shaped elephant’s head or later on directly into the cone, voluntarily release an object, loop the rings on the cone, and open and close the velcro-equipped rings and the door on the toy's base.

Object Permanence

  • When the balls "disappear" through the opening at the top, an inviting game of peek-a-boo teaches baby that once an object "disappears" it can be found again and again.

Cognitive Skills

  • The Musical Stack & Play™ offers an enticing way to learn cause and effect, as each movement results in a cascade of sounds and lights.
  • The variety of parts invites endless play possibilities, developing creativity and imagination.

EQ

  • The appealing elephant figure enables a heightened awareness of body image – the basis of self-awareness – as baby learns and identifies the parts of the face and body, and how they are arranged.
Age tips
  • His understanding of the world deepens and increases his desire to learn about the logic behind the things he sees, hears and feels. He turns into a real “researcher”.He holds things, shakes them, squeezes, pulls, and squashes.
  • He can now apply the things he’s learned previously to new situations. After he learns that pushing a button will cause some sort of result, he will know how to push a different new button, and will also expect a result.
  • He starts testing various actions and expects the results even before they happen, for example if you’re about to tickle him, he will start laughing even before you start.
  • He can now recall something that is not in front of him, that he doesn’t see, and not just recall something familiar that he recognizes. For example, he can “see” his mother’s face (in his mind’s eye), even when she is not present.
Playing with this toy
  • Place a ball in both of your baby's hands, and also hold a ball in each hand yourself. Strike the two balls together and encourage him to imitate you.
  • Drop the ball into the Musical Stack & Play™ and ask your baby, “Where's the ball?" Show him where it is, and say," Here's the ball!"
  • Give your baby one of the rings to explore and examine with his hands and mouth.
  • Let him explore and examine the elephant's head, hear the sounds it makes and touch and try to grasp its "hair."
