Features

Developmental Values

The Senses

• Festive carnival theme.
• Large, familiar and brightly faced animals inviting the toddler to look at them over and over.
• Animals appear on the wheel encouraging her to gaze at them there as well.
• Animals on the carnival panel light up when the corresponding button on the wheel is pressed.
• When a tune is played the light moves from one animal to another encouraging the toddler to follow with her eyes, stimulating sight.
• The carnival panel also makes animal sounds and plays a popular happy tune, encouraging development of hearing.
• Different materials (the wheel is made of bumpy plastic and cloth) and push buttons encouraging the toddler to feel and press, developing the sense of touch.

Fine Motor Skills

• The toddler holds the wheel with one hand and presses buttons with the other for developing motor control.
• She also improves hand-eye coordination when she imitates driving actions and holds the wheel with both hands while turning it left and right.

Cognition

• The Wonder Wheel develops cognition when the toddler learns to connect her actions (pressing the picture on the wheel) to the reaction (sounds and tunes). Gradually she learns to expect the reaction she will receive so she presses a series of buttons in order to get a series of sounds.
• The Wonder Wheel also contributes to the development of imagination by encouraging her to imitate her parents driving the car by turning the wheel, as she “driving” as well.

Language and Communication

• The Wonder Wheel contributes to the development of language by familiarizing the toddler with farm animals, musical instrumetns and the sounds they make.
