Play Activity- Toy
Introduction:
I have been asked to select a toy or equipment to play. I choosed a Gymini Move&Play activity mat made by 'Tiny Love '. The toy I choosed is best suitable for children from 0-1 year. The Tiny Love Gymini Move and Play Gym is the only gym that adjusts to baby 's developmental stages. The revolutionary sliding arches allow for endless play options, easy access to lift baby in and out and even space for parents to play along side baby. Baby will delight over the fun electronic light and music toy with 7 melodies. Adorable hanging toys can be positioned anywhere on the arches using the unique slide rings bringing smiles to baby as they reach and bat at their favorite toys. The extra large mat is thick and soft, with engaging animals friends, 3D zebra main. Peek-a-boo elephant ears and crinkle squar .

Rationale:
I choosed the Gymini activity mat because I have younger sister at home. I know that she enjoy of it for few hours every day. She has learn a lot with it, and helps in her language, intellectual, physical, emotional and social development. This toy is very useful for long time and entertains baby for a long period. The toy gives a baby great fun.
Availability and Cost of the toy:
This toy can be bought in many good toy shops for e.g.
-in Argos for €70.99 (http://www.argos.ie/)
-in Ken Black toy shop is for €69.99 but on the sale is for €59.99.
-Also we can find this toy on ebay web site for €69.19 plus the cost of the postage which will be about €20.00.
Obviously I would buy it in Ken Black toy shop in Carlow, because there is the cheapest one.
Safety of the toy:
On the box of this plaything we can find marks like:
-The age advice safety symbol, this means that the toy is suitable for new born baby’s until 9 months. Is very important to choose the right toy for the age of child.(Tiona.B, Carolyn.M, Julian.G, Hodder Education, 5th ed.)

    Children who spend most of their day in one environment need surfaces that respond to them, not hard surfaces that they must conform to. Sand, water, grass, rugs and pillows, and the lap of a caregiver respond to a child’s basic physical needs. Flexible materials and equipment. Children can use sand, water, or play dough in a variety of ways, depending on their maturity, ability, past experience with the materials, interest, and involvement. A jigsaw puzzle, on the other hand, has only one correct solution.…

    Infants and toddlers grow fast in first two years of life. It is very important to help them develop their fine and gross motor skills.

And I have Tunnels, big and small balls, balance beam, push toys like lawnmower, grocery Cart, and more.

    Tummy time not only strengthens your baby’s neck, back, and arms, but it also supports the development of their higher level gross motor skills (like rolling, crawling, walking), hand skills (developing the muscles in the arches of the hands as baby bears weight on them), visual skills (teaching the eyes to work together), and even speech and feeding skills (strengthening the neck which supports the jaw for talking and eating). Additionally, when babies spend time on their tummies it takes weight off the back of their heads and is important for prevention of flat spots. Many baby play gyms are now equipped with a small, non-breakable mirror so that babies can spend time looking at themselves in the mirror. Babies tend to notice themselves in the mirror around 3-5 months of age (staring at it, reaching at it). They may first smile at themselves in the mirror between about 5-8 months and then they may playfully respond to their mirror image by laughing, patting, or making faces in the mirror around 6-9 months. All of these skills are important for the development of self-awareness, and baby gyms provide babies the opportunity to practice these skills. Sensory stimulation is probably one of the most well-known means of interacting and playing with babies during their first year. Baby gyms often feature a variety of textures, sounds, and colours in order to stimulate babies’ senses while engaging with the gym. Once your baby begins mouthing objects, you can hang teething toys from the arches so they can reach for them (on back or tummy) and bring them to the mouth for oral stimulation and exploration. In addition to sensory stimulation, baby gyms can also facilitate your baby’s awareness of sensory stimulations such as visual and auditory. Visually, babies begin to look from one object to another when they are about 6-8 inches apart and 1 foot away from their chest, at about 2.5-3.5 months of age. The…

    The street vendor figure HN1316 Toys (Fig. 98), is unusual in that it is both satirical and amusing. The subject, a female toy seller is offering for sale, which may be described in modern parlance, a tray of toy-boys or at the very least some young men. The figure Toys, it would seem, was produced in just the one colour way, and was withdrawn from production by 1938. Doulton also promoted in 1929, Harradine’s HN1359 Two-a-Penny (Fig. 99). Doubtless, this figure is doubtless a subtle variation in modelling of HN1316 Toys. It is an identical colour way, with the red and greens decorating the tray. However, in this guise the subject is selling not beaux, but rather buttons and bows, for the said two-a-penny, it was also withdrawn by 1938. A third figure was titled HN1325 The Orange Seller (Fig. 100). Although not a distinguished piece of modelling by Harradine, it has proved the more successful on its own merits and has remained in production for some twenty years, and discontinued in 1949. HN1325 The Orange Seller was marketed as a pair with HN1339 Covent Garden (Fig. 101). Both of these figures were decorated in a colour edition of predominately green with lilac aprons or bodice. The latter figure, Covent Garden at 9 inches high is some 2 inches taller than The Orange Seller, subsequently proved not to be a great commercial success, and difficult from a manufacturing point of view, possibly because of the additional weight supported by the subject’s slender neck, by 1938, it had been…
