So what's so special about Jacques ?
He is also known as the Lamaze Play and Grow Peacock. He has plenty of bright colors much like a real life
peacock. He is made from multiple textures. And can make varied sounds. This combination of sight, sound and touch
is sure to delight a babies senses and teach them vital sensory and cognitive skills that will take them through
life.
In fact, Jacques and many of the other baby educational toys from Lamaze
were developed in conjunction with child development experts from Yale University and feedback from parents that
had purchased infant learning toys in the past.
A new born baby has very new senses. They have to be worn in so to speak. In fact a new born baby will se in
black and white for the first few days. Being exposed to a variety of colors and contrasts of these colors can
accelerate the development of the baby's vision.
To this extent, the peacock has a variety of colored and black and white patterns on his tail. They will hold
the infants attention but will also be soothing to new eyes so that strain does not set in.
The Lamaze toy also has a variety of sounds that can tune in the baby's ears. There is a rattle on one side of
the tail feathers, and a squeaker and crinkle on the other side. Baby can make these noises happen or the proud
parents can do this for baby.
The toy has a variety of textures to stimulate the babies tactile senses. These range from soft plush velor
fabrics in varied textures and will ensure baby holds Jacques close to his heart.
There is also a mirror for peek a boo moments as the baby grows.
This "first friends" toy also has a link clip that attaches to most things, including cribs, cots, strollers,
carriers, baby seats, high chairs and diaper bags. Jacques the Peacock can be taken pretty much
anywhere and be used at anytime.
Keep him handy in the car when you are running errands of picking up the kids. He will keep your baby or toddler
busy and happy as you drive around.
