Baby pools are great toys for working towards developmental milestones, because they include many different types of activities. Some games help develop fine motor skills by working on hand-eye coordination and basic levels of dexterity such as the color and shape matching activity. Your child can pair the right shape, color, and sea creature on the corresponding cone placed just out of arm’s reach. Each cone is spaced out in short distances from the backrest and the other cones to challenge, but not overwhelm, a new crawler. This allows babies to practice their balance, grasping, and reaching skills simultaneously as they play and crawl their way to their next milestone! Plus, the introduction to water play stimulates your child's sense of wonder and their sensory learning through sights, sounds and textures.The Lil’ SeaShapes Baby Pool also includes a removable UV Careful sunshade to protect your precious little ones as they match, splash, and play, providing shaded fun in the sun! Or you can take the play inside with you for year-round use thanks to its convenient, mobile design. Remove the shade, and leave out the water and the Bestway Lil' SeaShapes baby pool becomes a play mat for endless hours of matching fun!
