Make Play a Priority in 2012

There are so many reasons why you should make play should be a priority for your baby genius in 2012—whether your child prefers singing along with musical baby books or a day in the sandbox, play helps them develop in the best way possible. This fact is so well-established that the United Nations recognized play as a right of every child due to its contribution to optimal child development—looks like it’s time to stock up on musical baby toys.

Whenever we create a baby CD or educational baby DVDs, we try to incorporate the type of music that encourages movement, and thus, the development of coordination and motor skills. Yet our musical baby toys do much more than that—they assist with the development of communication skills, which contributes to children’s socialization and how they make sense of life. According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, play is critical to healthy child development, as it enhances their physical, social, cognitive and emotional well-being—this is why we our baby CD products stimulate every aspect of their learning. A baby genius requires toys that stimulate them on so many levels!

Studies show that major developmental differences exist in brain scans done between children who have the chance to play and those who don’t. Therefore, it’s crucial that children have a chance to play every day. Even when a child is ill, they can still benefit from the stimulation provided by singing children's songs along with or just reading musical baby books. If they’re unable to go outside, you can pop one of our fun and creative educational baby DVDs in the DVD player.

Make a commitment to provide avenues for play every day in 2012! It’s fundamental and a great way to show your children that you love them.

Why Children’s Songs Make Perfect Christmas Gifts

It’s a given that infants, toddlers and preschoolers all love children’s songs. Why not capitalize on the appeal to expand your child’s musical abilities and horizons with the gift of baby music for Christmas? By providing baby music CDs, you’re creating a simulating sensory environment for your children, which help to expand their senses and create stronger, more developed brain functions through neural connections between the cells and the actual brain.

When you watch children dance and sing along with a baby CD, it’s easy to see the connection they make to language, rhythm and beat. Their vocabulary expands, phonemic learning is enhanced, coordination is improved and motor skills are refined. Yet what you can’t see directly is what research shows—children who read along with musical baby books or play with musical baby toys also do better in math and reading comprehension, have stronger focus, and possess better social skills than those who do not regularly experience baby music.

When children dance along with children’s songs, they also learn about controlling their bodies and expressing themselves through movement. There are many ways to augment the experience. The next time you pop a baby CD in, add some props into the mix to make it a visual experience as well. Bring in stuffed animals, colored fabric and whatever else your child responds to. You can also teach them about the beat by making them move every time they feel it, or try different approaches like walking on their tip toes until they hear the song’s chorus or getting on their tiptoes when they hear the bridge. The options are limitless!

Some Help with Choosing Children’s Christmas Gifts

The team at Baby Genius realizes that a lot goes into deciding what to buy children for Christmas. The great thing about our product line, which includes musical baby books and other educational baby toys, is that it is in line with some basic principles of children’s gifts.

While it’s tempting to buy the newest gadgets on the market, remember that children don’t need all of the fussy accessories and upgrades that we enjoy as adults. A child is just as happy singing children’s songs and playing outside as we would be with the newest iPad.

With gifting for children, try to stay as gender-neutral as possible. This is the great thing about buying a baby CD for a young child. Both genders can enjoy and benefit from it, and when big sis gets older, she can pass her favorite baby music CDs on to her siblings.

Another thing to keep in mind is that bigger is not always better—and the portability of toys definitely adds to their appeal. Baby Genius has an array of baby music CDs and other toys that can be taken everywhere. For example, our brilliant educational baby DVDs can be brought to other children’s homes, to share in the delightful stories and music on each.

Musical baby books are also very easy to travel with and are never tiring to sing along with. Just think about how many hours can be filled with singing children’s songs! The best part is, your children don’t realize that these are actually educational baby toys that they are reaping significant developmental benefits from.
