VTech POP and Drop Digger, Educational Push Along Digger for Toddler, Toy Gift for 12 Months to 2 3 Years Boys and Girls. English Version

Product Information

Sound and movement attract a baby’s attention; if a toy is placed almost within reach of babies their movements become more animated. The grasping, at first, is quite clumsy but through repetition, and across time, infants become adept at grasping and develop fine motor skills. Games where children can create worlds and populate them with their own characters can be beneficial. Children demonstrate that they have understood the concept of cause and effect when they talk about the consequence of actions.

By pressing the buttons on the side of the digger, your child will be treated to imaginative role play phrases that also teach numbers, shapes and colours.VTech toys offer babies and children the opportunity to learn more about cause and effect by pressing buttons and listening to the sounds, moving toys around and playing educational computer games. Spatial skills can also be enhanced when playing games that require concentration, quick responses and finely tuned motor skills. The kitten will play melodies and sound effects as the string is pulled enhancing auditory development.

Includes 7 sing-along songs and 12 melodies and features an English speaking voice that promotes recognition and accelerates learning. If babies are presented with an unexpected event where, for example, a moving toy train disappears behind a screen but does not come out the other end they will stare for a long time at the screen.

Light-up buttons, manipulative features and fun songs, sounds and phrases introduce age appropriate curriculum. Sensors detect when a ball has gone through the digger’s chute, triggering fun and encouraging phrases, songs and sounds. This enables the baby to continue with their experiment and learn more about cause and effect; babies learn a great deal through repetition and it is good to facilitate opportunities where babies can begin to understand that, for instance, a toy will always fall to the ground. For example, babies are beginning to understand that toys reliably fall to the ground and that if a toy train goes into a tunnel it will come out the other end.

Nursery school children who spend more time in socio-dramatic role playing are also perceived as more socially competent by their teachers. Role play is generally a social activity but some children can engage in solitary role play where they create imaginary companions.When young babies watch a mobile they are constantly moving their head, arms, legs and even their mouths in response to the movement of the toy. Infants first use the ulnar grasp where their fingers close against the palm when trying to hold an object. After the first year, infants adopt the ‘pincer grasp’ where they use their thumb and index finger to grasp even very tiny objects. You will often see young babies in a bath reaching with their legs towards a floating toy and kicking. A delightful example of this is when babies begin to explore gravity by dropping toys whilst sitting in their highchair.
