LoveveryThe Sensory Strands | The Perfect Play Gym Add On, Sensory Montessori Toy, Infant Learning Sensory Baby Toys for Newborn, Ages 0-12 months

Bought these as a Xmas present when son was 3 months old. Even when we handed him the present he could hear the jingles and he got excited. Absolutely obsessed with them and still plays with them now at 7 months old. They’re simple but easy and impactful enough to function for the baby to learn skills from. Detachable too which makes it versatile and transportable (stroller, cot etc). It’s easy to set up and is colourful but muted enough to catch the baby’s eyes without looking like an ugly toy. Also quality is good that you can forget trying to diy to replicate cause these strands will last a long time. Plus getting materials to do it yourself will probably cost you £30 or more anyway. Not to mention the time it takes. Also how do you know if the design you’re choosing is appropriate for your baby’s brain development? At least these sensory strands have experts design it, which takes that stress out of it for you to figure out if your botched DIY job is doing anything useful. It’s just one less thing to worry about as a parent. Cost per use now feels low because of how much he plays with them. Also they have the right amount of different sensory exploration and sound without it being an irritating kids toy. Go on buy the strands, you know you want to!

Baby absolutely loves this. The noises and textures are good and hang low enough for her to kick and reach with her hands. It’s a shame it doesn’t come with the original play gym.

Had these recommended by a fellow mum, they’re an absolute hit and over the past few months they’ve become one of my baby’s favourite toys. Lots of the other mums I know picked them up too and all said they were a hit. Can be used as soon as baby starts flailing those little arms; now, at 6 months, she still loves them and shakes and inspects them with purpose. One of my best toy purchases.
