The ability to press a switch or button or to grip a handle, indeed anything involving using hands and fingers are called fine motor skills For baby to select one object in particular to touch, they need hand to eye coordination. Using a toy to get your child to press buttons helps them hone their hand to eye coordination which in turn lets them develop further fine motor skills and more.
Once a child can play with a toy on their own, without help or influence from an adult, this is termed Independant play and is a major goal of vtech smile toys. This gives children great self-confidence. Cooperative play is the next step, where children, through playing with other children learn social skills that they need like team-work, sharing and planning.
Visual Awareness is the ability to see objects clearly and to respond to them, being aware of how near or far away something is, and being able to tell where one object ends and another begins.
