What our experts think
The Stand ‘N Dance Starfish is a fantastic way to get young children up and moving about. They loved standing up and using their feet to press the buttons, which is great for strengthening gross motor skills, balance and coordination. The sounds really grab the child’s attention and introduce them to music.
Children can also learn cause and effect, for example seeing what happens when they press the buttons. Picking up the balls and dropping them down the slide also help children practice fine motor control, strengthening the small muscles in their hands and building hand-eye coordination.
