A play gym is a safe and engaging space designed for infants and young children to explore and develop their motor skills. Typically featuring a soft mat and overhead toys, these gyms encourage babies to reach, grasp, and kick, promoting physical activity and coordination. Many play gyms include colorful hanging toys, mirrors, and textures to stimulate a child's senses. They can be used for tummy time, which helps strengthen neck and shoulder muscles, and provide a fun environment for babies to play independently or with caregivers.
