The Playgro Junyju Activity Car contains a series of games aimed at stimulating the development of the senses, gross motor skills and visual-motor integration. This is why it has different textures, colours and a sound that helps them to recognise the stimulus-response effect.
This is because the child has to push the car to make it roll and spin the ball, which makes a sound. Similarly, when changing direction or speed, the rattle or sound of the ball changes, allowing him to explore sounds that he can create. The ball can also be removed for independent play.
Each side of the ball has a texture. The car is smooth and the wheels also have a little high relief. All this, in order to show him different textures that allow him to exercise his kinaesthetic skills. This is very important for children of certain ages, as they are learning how to relate to the world. Therefore, activities that use touch also help them to develop their cognitive skills.
The variety of colours in this game makes the child want to follow it with his eyes, as they are of utmost importance to him. Moreover, they form part of his most basic vocabulary and will allow him to make simple descriptions, to understand his environment and be understood by others.
In short, this set of sensory activities helps to develop skills that allow the child to explore the world from his or her perspective. In this way, it encourages learning that is appropriate for their age.
