The Senses
The Peek-a-Bee¡¯s smiling face and pleasant colors develop the sense of sight
The variety of fabrics and textures develop the sense of touch
The different sounds develop the sense of hearing
As baby looks, feels and listens she develops her senses and the coordination between them.
Gross Motor Skills
When baby tries to reach her hand out to the bee toy in front of her she lifts her arm as one unit, an action which starts where her arm meets her shoulder, strengthening these muscles and those all along her arm. These muscles are part of the group of muscles used when developing gross motor skills.
Fine Motor Skills
Baby uses her hands in different ways, practicing and developing fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination. Following are some activities she may perform:
Bat at the Peek-a-Bee hanging in front of her and hold it.
Grasp the ring and shake it to hear the sounds.
Tug at the flower to see how it jitters up.
Rub the leaves to hear the crinkly sound.
Cognition
Baby bats at the Peek-a-Bee causing it to sway back and forth, or pulls on it to watch the jitter, and thus learns the connection between her actions and the effects they cause.
