Fruit Friends 3 in 1 Toddler Toy by Fat Brain Toys: The Benefits to Developing Minds

Posted on June 03, 2020 by Lubica Misevski

Like many of the toys in the Fat Brain Toys line, the Fruit Friends 3 in 1 Toddler Toy has a number of exceptional benefits for developing young minds.

It's little wonder that the Parents Choice Gold Awards has recognised this toy. With multiple textures and concepts to explore, the Fruit Friends 3 in 1 toddler toy, which includes a watermelon, a pear, and an orange, offers several options for play.

The toy comes with an orange, which breaks down into four pieces; a watermelon slice, which breaks down into 3 pieces; and a pear slice, which is just a single piece. Each piece offers a range of sensory experiences: as the pear wobbles, it offers soft chimes to delight little ears, while the orange, which has four thick slices, snaps back together with magnets. The watermelon pieces stack together on a peg base that wobbles back and forth, with little silicone seeds that offer a fascinating texture for little fingers to explore.

The Benefits of the Fruit Friends 3 in 1 Toddler Toy

The Fruit Friends 3 in 1 Toddler Toy offers several advantages to developing young minds, including:

Building fine motor skills. Both the watermelon and the orange in the Fruit Friends 3 in 1 Toddler Toy can be taken apart and put back together again, encouraging the development of fine motor skills. The toys are designed to allow little fingers to easily put them back together but require enough maneuvering to help encourage fine motor skills and improve overall development.

Sensory learning. Each piece of the Fruit Friends 3 in 1 Toddler Toy offers a different sensory experience. The soft chimes coming from the pear engage listening skills and delight little learners, while the silicone seeds on the watermelon offer a unique texture for little fingers. The magnets in the orange can also offer sensory exploration as they connect to one another.

Tactile learning. Little ones will love the tactile experience offered by the Fruit Friends 3 in 1 Toddler Toy. Each piece offers a different tactile experience, making each toy a unique hands-on learning opportunity. Little learners develop their skills best when they're allowed to interact with their world in a safe environment, and the Fruit Friends 3 in 1 Toddler Toy provides the perfect opportunity for tactile exploration. Toddlers can explore how the pieces interact together, fitting them together and taking them apart, as well as enjoying the rocking of the pear and the watermelon or turning the orange on the floor.

Cause/effect learning. When toddlers shake or rock the pear, it makes a delightful chime that engages the senses and encourages further interaction. Likewise, when they pull the orange apart, the pieces separate--and when they put the orange pieces close to one another, they connect again. This cause/effect style learning allows toddlers to explore the relationship with the world around them while playing with the Fruit Friends 3 in 1 Toddler Toy.

Imaginative play. Not only does the Fruit Friends 3 in 1 Toddler Toy encourage many types of sensory learning and integration, but it also allows children to further explore the world around them through imaginative play. Does your toddler want to talk to the orange? To pretend to eat the bright, colourful figures? As your child grows, he can continue to engage in more imaginative play with these toys.

The Fat Brain Toys line focuses on providing developmentally appropriate toys for little ones--and the Fruit Friends 3 in 1 Toddler Toy certainly fits the bill. With plenty of options for exploring and playing, this toy is sure to delight the toddlers in your life while providing an excellent learning experience every time they play.
