We have compiled some brief information for our visitors regarding tactile (sense of touch) development and the benefits of using a Mommy Necklace, specificially a design such as Sensory Snazz. We provide you with this information in hopes that it will aid you when selecting toys and nursing necklaces for your little one.


Baby's tactile development is encouraged through the following methods :

Type of tactile exploration:
Sensory information acquired :
Rubbing finger across surface
Texture
Squeezing or poking object Hardness
Fingers resting on object surface Temperature
Holding or grasping object
Shape, size, or volume
Tracing along contours of object
Global shape or exact shape
Holding object in hand Weight

(chart is adapted from McLinden & McCall, 2002)

Types of tactile stimulation provided by the use of sensory beads on our necklaces:
Different Shapes
Slopes and Contours
Curved Edges
Surface Texture and Temperature
Elasticity or Pliability
Hardness or Softness
Weight

As baby's fine-motor skills improve, baby will begin to use more and more strategies for exploring objects with his hands. Babies are constantly learning to interact with objects in their world -- reaching and grasping, banging and batting, or touching and rubbing -- knowing this, we make sure to keep baby engaged with a variety of beads. Our necklaces support baby's natural curiosity to explore and seek out information - on a safe, sturdy necklace worn by you. On Sensory Snazz, our signature sensory beads come in an assortment of shapes, sizes, and textures, that encourage baby's exploration and further development of touch. We make our necklaces safe and fun, but we also consider child development and developmental approriatness when creating our designs.
