Toolbox be-3 Components
How is the development of newborn and 1 month old babies?
- Your newborn baby will usually remain with his upper and lower extremities in a flexed position and his hands clenched.
- When placed face down, he initially remains with his head on the surface, but at the end of the first month he is able to raise his head looking forward.
- Although vision is close, the baby differentiates contours and color contrasts such as black-white, and is able to observe the face of its parents at a distance of approximately 30 centimeters.
- Hearing is perfectly developed and is especially sensitive to the voice of its parents.
The "tools" that we propose below help your baby achieve these and more achievements at this age.

Box of Secrets
The box of secrets has multiple uses that the baby will discover over time, according to his development. At this stage, in which they begin to play at “taking out” things, the box of secrets is an ideal toy to take out and then put away. The grooved surface of the box will help your baby perceive tactile sensations.
Recommended activities:
sensory ball
This ball with different textures (sometimes difficult for the baby) invites you to play different games with it. Playing with rolling it, moving it, or later throwing it (even trying to put it in the secret box), helps us develop different motor skills, while the baby becomes familiar with its textures.
Recommended activities:
"Happy" Sound Star
Your baby can play to hide “Happy” in the pocket of the box, discovering the permanence of the objects. Or if you prefer, you can place “Happy” on the wooden mast, to make it disappear and appear above the box, generating expectation and excitement in the baby. “Happy” plays when pressed. Through learning the association of this action and the sound, your baby begins to test his strength in trying to produce the sound.
Recommended activities:
Flash Cards - Farm Animals
Photographs of real objects in the early years allow the baby to have an image of the objects that is closer to reality. With the Flash Cards, you can play the stories and sounds of the farm animals, favoring the increase of the baby's communicative repertoire, preparing necessary elements of language development. Additionally, they have the names of the animals written in English and Spanish, so that they can be used when the baby grows and is in the reading-writing processes.
Recommended activities:
Sensory Story Book
A very special book. You invent the story! It has “scenes” in different spaces, with which you can build stories that will promote language development. Baby will find different textures to explore while playing.
Recommended activities:
"Mango" Transition Cushion
Having an element that gives the baby security when sleeping, or when adults must move away a little, is essential for emotional development. The Mango cushion, with a pleasant texture, can become an element of emotional security for the baby, if we present it in games as an element of emotional closeness with adult caregivers.
