The market of children's goods is experiencing a real boom today. Parents can very difficult to understand the variety of products and models. Musical developing tables in recent years are gaining increasing popularity, because with the help of developing tables for kids, you can connect the game with training, and entertainment with the development of useful skills. In this article, we'll talk about gaming development tables, their models and key characteristics.
There are one- and two-sided developing tables, wooden, wheelchairs, music tables, teaching the account, foreign words, etc.
Variants of table filling
Tables equipped with an interactive developing function allow the crumb to independently perform various manipulations - twist and unscrew moving parts, press buttons and protrusions on the table surface, often there are holes for lacing, slots for cubes, balls, triangles, color zones. Most of the tables are equipped with a chair or a seat for sitting, and in some models a highchair is also a box for removable table toys.
The main functions of the table are:
- the development of motor skills (including the fine motor skills of the hands, directly related to speech and thought activity);
- encouraging the desire to learn, cognitive activity;
- improved coordination of movements;
- learning words, poems, songs, foreign words (in musical models);
- development of emotions of a crumb;
- entertainment.
The developing table of the wheelchair resembles the usual walkers on wheels, but the surface of the table in front of the child is equipped with luminous and musical elements, it contains built-in toys, buttons, etc. Most kids love these walkers and are happy to spend time in them, having fun and letting their parents rest from the constant wearing of crumbs on their hands.

For ease of use, many models are equipped with removable legs, which allows you to use them not only on the floor, but also on the couch or bed.

Of course, such universal models are more expensive than more simple models, but if you are not too constrained in the means - such a purchase is justified and even economically profitable, because, in fact, you are buying two items - a developing table for crumbs and its future home school.
From what age can you use developing tables for children?
The first developing table can be bought already a year-old crumb. The main condition for using the table is the confident ability of the baby to sit (for a wheelchair table) and, preferably, to walk.
If you plan to use the table for a long time (for example, to the school itself), pay attention to the possibility of adjusting the height of the table, its tilt and other characteristics that allow the toddler to sit comfortably and straight, without harm to the spine.
In addition to the developmental function, one of the main advantages of tables is their attractiveness for children - growing up, the baby opens up new possibilities for the toy, learns to use the elements included in the set in a new way, which means that the table never bothers him.
