The Sassy Pelican & Friends provides endless fun in the tub! Baby can open and close the pelican’s beak, helping to develop pincer grasp, while retrieving three numbered fish. Each fish features a gentle-stream squirter, allowing baby to experience the feel of water. The Pelican Net promotes early STEM learning by teaching a child about: – Numbers – Open & Close – Buoyancy Beak opens and closes for object permanence, helping to develop pincer grasp, a necessary skill for independence Through number recognition, baby is introduced to the concept of math Self-storing, making clean-up easy! Mesh adds a textural element to further develop tactile sensitivity Bold, saturated hues are visually appropriate for baby’s developing vision Easy to grasp handle As the original developmental toy company for the past 30 years, Sassy has worked together with developmental experts and educators to create a line of toys specifically designed to encourage STEM learning from 6-36 months. While it may not be a science experiment or a traditional math problem, babies have their own version of STEM. Science, technology, engineering and math come in the form of curiosity, exploration and play!
