{"product_id":"sensory-ribbon-ring","title":"Sensory Ribbon Ring","description":"\u003cp\u003eSensory Ribbon Ring offers a beautiful range of sensory stimulations for children right from birth. This ribbon ring offers various sensory stimulations for children. Children will discover the hidden \"œbeep' sound in one of the ribbons, and a gentle crinkle sound in another, inviting them to squeeze, scrunch and explore with curious hands. The alternating black, white and colourful fabric enhances visual development, offering strong contrast for very young babies as well as rich colour exploration as they grow. The smooth wooden ring is a great teething toy for babies and toddlers, providing a natural, soothing surface for little gums. As they grasp, shake and mouth the ribbon ring, babies are building their sense of touch, strengthening their grip and beginning to understand cause and effect as different movements create different sounds and sensations. Older infants and toddlers can use the flowing ribbons in early movement play, waving, twirling and tracking them through the air. Lightweight and easy to hold, the Ribbon Ring is perfect for tummy time, music and movement sessions, pram toys or baby room baskets. It supports gentle, calming sensory play while helping children become more aware of and engaged with their environment, making it a thoughtful addition to any early learning setting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEducational benefits:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStimulates the sense of touch with a variety of textures, from smooth wood to soft, crinkly and \"œbeeping' ribbons.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupports early visual development through high-contrast black and white patterns alongside bright, colourful fabric.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEncourages fine motor development and hand-eye coordination as babies grasp, pull, wave and explore the ring and ribbons.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePromotes early discovery learning and simple cause and effect as children notice how different actions produce different sounds and movements.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eClassroom ideas:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdd to baby room sensory baskets for tummy time, encouraging reaching, grasping and visual tracking of the ribbons.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUse during music and movement sessions, inviting babies and toddlers to wave, shake and dance with the ribbons.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntroduce simple descriptive language such as \"soft\" , \"crinkly\" , \"smooth\" , \"black and white\"  and \"colourful\"  during shared exploration.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncorporate into calming, regulatory play by offering the ribbon ring as a soothing focus toy during transitions or rest times.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSafety \u0026amp; Information:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e0 months+, always under adult supervision.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApproximately 15.5cm (W) x 15.5cm (L) x 2cm (H) (about 6\" x 6\" x 7\/8\").\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSmooth wooden ring that doubles as a teething toy, with ribbons including a hidden \"œbeep' sound and a gentle crinkle sound.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInspect regularly for loose threads, damaged ribbons or wear to the wooden ring, and discontinue use if any part becomes damaged.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Modern Teaching Aids NZ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42939018772593,"sku":"BE00663","price":22.95,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0626\/7633\/6753\/files\/be00663_sensory-ribbon-ring_v1_1.jpg?v=1768791600","url":"https:\/\/teaching.co.nz\/products\/sensory-ribbon-ring","provider":"Modern Teaching Aids NZ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
