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.

You won’t regret buying this! Worth the price!
Despite the amazing reviews, I was hesitant to purchase this because of the price. I eventually gave in and I’m so glad I did! My 7 week old is OBSESSED! This is the only place we can put her down that she doesn’t cry. The product is high quality and the book of how to use the different toys and features for the age groups is super helpful.

Such promise
I LOVE the toys but the website is simply awful. I would be buying so many more items if I could simply put them in my cart. The very frustrating process of trying to purchase an item has been very discouraging!

Baby David loves the play
Baby David loves the play gym - he’s almost 5 months and loves looking at the mirror and the black and white cards above him. He also enjoys the black and white ball and the ring with cloth strips attached. He also likes kicking the sound cubes.

For tummy time, he likes looking at the black and white pictures and touching the sensory strips.

This has been a great addition, and the play book gives many helpful tips about how to use the play gym best for David at his age.
