A baby gym is a great way for your baby to get exercise. The equipment normally sits on an activity type mat with the gym objects such as soft character toys, typically lying on top of the mats or suspended above.

Baby gyms provide physical contact with the toys as well as visual and sometimes auditory stimulation for baby. Not only will they keep baby entertained in a safe, enlightening manner, they will give you time to turn your attention to other matters.
More and more parents are increasingly busy and do not have the time to always pick up their babies or interact with them in some way. And of course babies do need something other than their parents to keep them occupied.
The baby gym was created to fulfil these needs and give baby something to do while giving parents a little time off. They are also great educational activities that give the baby some exercise as well.
A baby gym is also often called an Activity Centre with the gym items hung above a mat or inflatable base. Often the design also includes padded curved bars that extend above baby when in a laying or sitting position. These bars have different items hanging down for baby to interact with.
Some examples of play items include mirrors, stuffed animals, rattles and other toys that encourage development of motor skills. The really cool thing about baby gyms is that they can be used with babies just a few weeks old and also toddlers can find the activity centres still engage them.
Baby gyms and their accompanying objects with a variety of textures develop the fine motor skills of the hands, fingers and thumbs and usually in coordination with the eyes so that your little one becomes more dexterous.
