Overview

Description

Designed by child development experts, The Play Gym grows with your baby through a full year of play—from tummy time to sitting up and beyond. It’s beautifully crafted with eco-friendly, durable and baby-safe materials. If you plan to have more than one child, this is a well-made piece that you can pass down through multiple children.

Five development zones on The Play Gym reveal or conceal activities to prevent overstimulation and promote learning in targeted areas: focus, sound, tactility, hiding and finding and colors.

The Play Gym comes with a system of interchangeable Card Sets that you can swap out for your baby, including clips that attach to The Play Gym legs so that cards can be used overhead. You can hang toys from the arches or cover them with the Play Space Cover to inspire imaginative play. You can also get an easy-to-scan Play Guide for parents with research-backed ideas for fun activities throughout the developmental stages of the first year.

Lovevery Play Gym activities include:

  • Organic Cotton High Contrast Montessori Ball is detachable and easy for your baby to grasp, pass from hand to hand or roll
  • Wooden Batting Ring designed for batting and grasping, with bell and castanet sounds
  • Organic Cotton Teether made with organic cotton, detachable and perfect for mouthing
  • Silicone teething rings manufactured without PVC for safe, comfortable teething
  • Black & White Card Set with high-contrast images that gradually get more complex
  • Mirror Card Set, Common Objects Card Set and Faces Card Set
  • The Play Guide: A full year of ideas for how to play
  • Card Set Clips that attach to the gym to hold and rotate Card Sets

The Play Gym sets up in just two minutes, with no tools or batteries required. This means you can easily travel with or stash it away. It also includes an easily attachable Play Space Cover that transform your child’s play space.

You can also add Sensory Strands (sold separately) to encourage cognitive and sensory exploration and motor skills. They’re made with baby-safe materials such as organic cotton, and attach easily with Velcro straps and a safety loop.

My daughter is loving the gym with their son. What an energy burner- a real gym. So much attention to detail in your design and it is paying off.

Great educational products.

Don't bother with anything else!
We bought version 1 for our kids and we literally used it EVERYDAY until early toddlerhood (thanks to the tent)! We loved it so much we are upgrading it for our newest family members.

Delighted by the Play Gym
I had doubts about how an 8-week-old baby would interact with the play gym. And it has been absolutely incredible! Contrast cards and clips mean my infant is engaged in an age appropriate way and it's fantastic to watch (or even do a chore while she is happy by herself). Such a great purchase!

1st grandchild
I was just going to get this subscription for the first year but my daughter and grandson love it so much that I am now thinking I will keep gifting it. When my daughter gets a new set, she boxes up and labels the old set so she can reuse with future children. I am now on the hook to do this for the first grandchild of my other 2 kids!

Great toy! Baby (and cat) favorite!
My baby seriously LOVES this thing. She’s only 6 weeks old and I toss her in it with the high contrast tent and she just smiles and coos and wiggles for like 30 minutes. Most fun we’ve ever had and it looks like we will have lots to explore as she gets older! I love that it comes with a whole book of ideas on how to play with baby by their age. Also bonus my cats love it almost more than the baby, haha!
