Baby Explore and More Rocking Owl Stacker Toy by Skip Hop
Babies are compelled to investigate and explore; to examine and test until they’ve exhausted their curiosity and come to some sort of understanding. This Rocking Owl Stacker Toy (here on out known as the Owl) will give them many, many opportunities for self-discovery.
What’s the first thing anyone would want to do? Take it apart of course! And this accommodates easily. The Owl is recommended for ages 6 months and up and these younger babies will continue to take apart and gum the different sections for a while before idea of reassembly hits them. But then they’ll use their entire hands to explore, hold, release, and place the 4 upper pieces on the base.
The Owl satisfies a baby’s sensory needs too! Visually appealing with its choice of colors plus there are multi-colored beads that swirl in Owl’s head and around one of the rings. Speaking of beads in a ring—those also will pique your baby’s interest auditorily. I mentioned the gumming above—the Owl’s wings in particular have a wonderful texture to them and the design begs to be put into a mouth! Your little owlet will get double duty feeling and tasting!

The Owl gets a flyin’ high PLAY ON stamp of approval because:
● BPA-free, PVC-free AND phthalate-free…especially important for young kiddos who put everything in their mouths!
● Durable design and materials
● One of the rings can be used as a musical shaker
● Reassembly for parents made easy with numbered rings for easy stacking!
● Develops motor skills and eye-hand coordination
● Promotes problem-solving skills
The only detraction—and it’s very minor as far as I’m concerned, is it cannot be put in a dishwasher to clean. It has to be wiped clean with a damp cloth and allowed to air dry–or maybe I should say flap dry…
Yours in Play!
