It’s More Than Play... This Toy Also Teaches:
Tactile Play
Soothing & Comforting
Tactile Play
Young children first gain understanding of the world around them though sensory messages, so figuring things out through touch is important. When it comes to sensory development and tactile play, the skin plays a big part for babies. Lots of different textures and surfaces, like the separate cloth sections, teether, satin moon and removable rattle are helpful at this stage of development. There are millions of sensory receptors in on the skin to help babies learn about shape, size and texture. Sensory play is also a foundation skill for fine motor development—as it helps children develop muscles in the fingers and hands.

Soothing & comforting
Many children need a security blanket that they can call their own—something that looks, smells and feels familiar that they can take along with them anywhere. The GLOWORLD PUPPET PLAY BLANKIE is small enough for little ones to carry around as well as take to bed, and may help your little one form emotional memories as he recalls positive sensory experiences associated with feelings of safety and security.

Want to join the fun? Playing with your child can boost his learning, and it gives him more time to bond with you! Try these simple tips to enhance your child’s play experience:
- Rub the different textures of GLOWORLD PUPPET PLAY BLANKIE on your baby’s bare feet, hands and skin so he can feel the textured material. Babies learn best through multisensory experiences, so it’s good to encourage new sensations. Describe the sensation as you do this so he can learn the meaning of words like rough, smooth, soft, bumpy and more.
- Play “peek-a-boo” with your baby using the puppet. “Peek-a-boo” is a baby’s way of learning about object permanence. Baby will ultimately learn that even though the puppet disappears, it is still there.
- Entertain him by moving the puppet slowly from side to side and up and down and get baby’s eyes to follow the movement. This can help develop his eye fitness and aid in the development of eye tracking.
- As baby touches the silky ribbon, ridged corduroy and the crinkly sun, describe the textures he’s feeling. Hearing specific words like “soft,” “silky” and “crinkly” while experiencing sensory stimulation is key to learning new vocabulary and understanding language concepts.
