Welcome to The Inspector Play Kit for months 7-8
*The products in this video may vary from the European Play Kits. Please find the full list of European Playthings in this Kit below.
You’ve got an inspector on your hands: an inquisitive, adventurous, intrepid baby, who may be working extremely hard to move their body forward. Whether they’re scooting, rolling, or even starting to crawl a bit, chances are they’re motivated and determined to inspect the world around them. Their babbling might be more frequent, and soon you may see signs of the all-important “pincer grasp:” when they pick up objects between a finger and a thumb.
In The Inspector Play Kit, your baby has a whole new set of playthings, books and picture cards, and activities that are all geared towards how they learn and play best. The Nesting Stacking Dripdrop Cups, for example—which do even more than the name suggests—gives your baby a chance to work on building towers, fitting things together, and what so many babies love most: a chance to experiment with water.
That’s just the tip of the iceberg. The Play Guide gives ideas on how to use the playthings, as well as immediately usable activities, tips, and bite-sized developmental information.
