Operating Instructions
Modes of Play (Developmental Stages)
- Stage 1: Tummy Time Entertainment (3-6 months)
Place the toy in front of your baby during tummy time. The captivating lights and sounds will help engage them and encourage them to lift their heads longer, strengthening neck muscles. - Stage 2: Sitting & Eye-Tracking (6-9 months)
As your baby begins to sit, place the toy at a short distance to encourage eye-tracking skills and following the turtle's movement. - Stage 3: Crawling Motivator (9-12+ months)
Once your baby starts to crawl, place the toy at a distance to motivate crawling and gross motor development with its slow, chase-friendly movement.
