Over the last few decades we've seen enormous advances in the design of toys for babies, with most toys aimed specifically at stimulating the senses of a newborn baby.  If you read the manufacturers' descriptions, you would think that we have only just learned how to keep a baby's attention, but parents have known these secrets forever!  The world is full of so many fun things that a baby can be allowed to play with that stimulate senses of colour, feel and sound that you don't need to buy into the latest 'must have' toy.  There are so many products available on the market that it can be easy to get carried away, but your baby only needs a small number of toys, you can add to the sensory learning by playing with household objects and interacting directly with your baby yourself!

One of our aims with ToucanLearn is to help you grow a stronger bond with your children. Newborn baby's senses are developing at a rapid pace, but before they are able to focus sight well, they can already hear and sense touch. Our early baby activities promote the bond between you and your baby through feel and sounds. A baby can quickly learn to distinguish the difference between the touch of different people, and it's not just the mother that can bond with newborn babies - fathers, grandparents and siblings can forge a bond by spending time with newborn babies, establishing their presence through sound and feel.
