It’s easy for adults who do not have young children to believe that they do not need much stimulation. The truth, however, is that young children need even more opportunity for stimulation than older children do. Older children are capable of finding their own amusement, while younger children need not only things to amuse them, but also to help them to learn about the world around them. The Lamaze Mortimer the Moose toy is a great toy that is ideal for young children who need to have some stimulation and who want comfort as well.
What It Is
A quick glance at this toy shows that it looks just like a stuffed animal, but this moose is much more than just a stuffed animal. Every part of Mortimer is designed to help young children to either learn about the world around them or to be soothed. Take his antlers, for instance. Mortimer’s antlers are actually teethers, which are safe for babies to chew on when their gums are hurting and actually can help to alleviate the pain a bit thanks to the design on the antlers. Mortimer’s tail is made with two rubber rings, which are easy for a baby to hold onto, and his hooves are multicolored and patterned in different patterns, which is eye catching for a baby. That physical and mental stimulation is essential. The hooves also make different sounds when shook and the entire moose jingles and chimes when he is picked up, making him a stuffed animal that is filled with stimulation from one end of him to the other!
Why Babies Love Him
Babies love Lamaze Mortimer the Moose because he is extremely soft and because he has tons of things on him that are enjoyable for them. The teething antlers got plenty of use on the test babies and the rings made Mortimer easy to hold onto, which meant less times that parents had to bend down to pick him up, or had to worry about germs contaminating him from being dropped. They love the noises that Mortimer makes as well.
Why Parents Love Him
Lamaze Mortimer the Moose is the type of toy that can grow with your child. He can be hung on a crib or a car seat when the baby is young, and can be held when the child gets older. Because the moose is fairly large, he is easy for young children to hold onto, and the many different sounds and colors on him keep children’s eyes focused on him for a very long time.
We feel that Lamaze Mortimer the Moose is a great gift for any baby, and it is one that will become a favorite toy for children for years to come.
