This is one of those products that I wish I had a little earlier in Madelyn’s life. She is one now and not able to use this as it is intended to be used (I’ll get into that below), but we sure had fun reviewing the Lamaze Spin & Explore Garden Gym!
For the younger babies:
- Encourages baby to enjoy tummy time which has proven to be very important in recent years.
- Gives baby something to focus on other than carpet when on her tummy.
- Baby will enjoy the fun colors, and sounds all while being on her tummy.
- The butterfly’s 3D crinkle (fun sound) wings are sure to capture your baby’s attention like they do Madelyn’s.
- The bumble bee is actually a rattle baby can play with and because it’s attached to the play mat, Mom doesn’t have to worry about losing it.
- Your baby can put in and take out the baby bird from its nest. What fun! This is one of Madelyn’s favorite features.
Older babies: (What Madelyn really enjoyed about the Spin & Explore Garden Gym)
- Remove the spinner and baby can enjoy all of the fun activities while sitting in the middle of the play mat.
- Madelyn especially loves the bird petal and the mirror. I’ve caught her kissing the mirror on more than one occasion! What am I in for?
- Obviously, any baby will find the garden gym to be a blast because of the different activities and moms love the fact that it can be easily transported to Grandma’s house.
- One more thing… Madelyn LOVES to sit on the spinner and spin herself around! I think she feels a sense of independence when she spins herself.
