It's multi-color design provides your baby with much-needed visual stimulation. The ring shape makes the toy easy for babies to pick up from surfaces and hold onto, a motion that helps improve your baby’s hand-eye coordination and grip strength. The ring is composed of a myriad of textures as well as colors to improve your baby’s sensory receptors upon touching the materials. The pieces and shapes surrounding the ring are securely attached so that your baby can explore the different textures safely; the ring itself is soft enough to provide relief from the discomfort associated with teething.
