Secondly, it helps your baby to cross the midline

Have you heard about crossing the midline? It is needed for tasks that involve the use of both hands, where they work together to complete a job. All babies develop differently. Nonetheless, crossing the midline starts as soon as a baby starts reaching for objects with two hands. On average, most baby develop this ability at around 4 months of age.  A baby play gym trains a baby's hand-eye coordination and help the baby to improve his ability to cross the body's midline as a baby focus on the hanging object and bring both hands together. The ability for both hands to come to and cross the invisible vertical line down the middle of the body is a very important skill for children to develop. 

Thirdly, it helps to develop your baby's vision

A newborn can only see objects that are 8 to 15 inches away. In fact, the baby's vision is blurred at birth. A baby sees only in black and white, with shades of grey from newborn to 4 months of age. A play gym stimulates the vision as a baby focus on the hanging toys and reach out to grab them. A little effort goes a long way. Continuous usage of the play gym from birth till 6 months will see a remarkable improvement in the baby’s visual perception and coordination.
