Toolbox be-2 Components
What is the development of 5 and 6 month old babies?
- When a toy is shown and placed in front of him, the baby tries to reach for it, he is able to hold a toy in each hand and always seeks to put the objects in his mouth. Parents often use the expression “everything for the mouth.” .
- Now the baby laughs out loud when faced with a sympathetic or pleasant stimulus, is capable of producing four or more different sounds, babbles, and pronounces combinations of sounds such as ma, ta, pa.
- He locates a sound easily and reacts when called, pays attention to the conversation and even tries to imitate the movements of the lips and tongue.
- Around six months, when he is placed in the sitting position without support on the trunk, he manages to maintain that position for a short period of time, which is of great importance to start complementary feeding.
- At this stage, the baby turns until a change of position is achieved, he tries to push himself with his feet both in the face down and face up position and this becomes a wake-up call for parents as he can easily fall out of bed.
The "tools" that we propose below help your baby achieve these and more achievements at this age.

Multifunctional mirror
The experience of seeing his reflection in a mirror and recognizing that what is reflected there is his own image, is a discovery for the baby. Its multifunctional design will also help your baby develop visual tracking of moving objects, while having fun turning it and perceiving the cause-effect relationship. Ideal for tummy time play, as it allows the baby to rest their hands and forearms on the floor while playing to spin the mirror, strengthening their balance and preparing them for crawling.
Recommended activities:
Ocean
It is a musical instrument that simulates the sound of sea waves. You can carry out multiple activities from the Tool-be System that will help your baby promote attention to auditory stimuli, differentiate and locate sounds and associate them with the source that emits them. The sound produced is part of the sounds classified as "white noise", which helps to promote environments of relaxation and calm. It is an instrument that is very easy to manipulate, which with simple movements produces a charming sound, especially at this age when your baby begins to hit objects with his hands. Additionally, its texture is very pleasant to the touch.
Recommended activities:
Finger Puppets - Farm Animals Set 1
Character puppets allow interactions with your baby in which games are introduced with animal sounds, actions and voice changes. This favors the increase of the baby's communicative repertoire, preparing necessary elements of language development. With soft texture and strong colors, they generate interest from the point of view of perception.
Recommended activities:
Medium sensory fish
The sensory fish is a “tool” with which you begin to work on gripping larger items. It has different colors and textures that encourage baby's tactile exploration.
Recommended activities:
- Act# 12 Picking up large objects
- Act# 65 Objects in front, on the sides and above

inflatable ball
This traditional tool can be used as a tool for your motor and visual development and to provide you with vestibular experiences. Later, it will help your baby in his gross motor development and visual-motor coordination (eye-hand, eye-foot).
Recommended activities:
egg shaker
Based on learning the action/sound association that the baby has previously made with the rattles, the egg shaker appears as another option for the baby to produce sounds from movements. Its smoother texture, with its rounded shape that generates other motor challenges for grip, makes the egg shaker an ideal tool.
