Tiny Love Symphony-in-Motion Remote Mobile

Babies spend a lot of time in a crib, but even an infant can get bored, so you want to make sure they're not just staring at the ceiling. To stimulate, entertain and even lull your little one to sleep, try Tiny Love's $50 Symphony-in-Motion Remote Mobile. The base that attaches to the crib plays three types of specially arranged classical music by Bach, Beethoven and Mozart -- each for 15 minutes. In fact, for the first month, you can easily run just the audio because your baby will be lying with its head to the side and can't look straight up. By the fourth week, though, you'll want activate the turn-function of the mobile, which includes soft and colorful geometric shapes as well as animals that draw attention to movement. Such visual stimuli entice babies to track the objects' movements, helping strengthen eye and neck muscles. And because the hanging toys are layered and organized from the bottom up and from the top down, they will contribute to optical perception as well. The mobile can be put together without any tools, and, most importantly, can be activated without disturbing the baby, thanks to the included remote control.
