Skip Hop Explore & More Follow Bee Crawl Toy

The Skip Hop Explore and More Follow Bee Crawl Toy is specifically designed to encourage and reward crawling in babies from around 6 months of age. When activated, the cheerful bee character lights up, plays music and moves forward, giving babies a motivating target to crawl towards. This encourages gross motor development, builds arm and leg strength, and helps babies practice the coordination needed for crawling and early walking. The toy moves at just the right pace to keep babies engaged without moving too quickly for them to follow.

The Skip Hop Explore and More Follow Bee Crawl Toy grows with baby through 3 stages. In the first stage, babies on their tummy can bat at the toy and experience lights and sounds from close up. In the second stage, as babies begin to crawl, the moving bee motivates them to follow and reach for it. In the third stage, as babies pull to stand, they can push the toy while walking. The removable bee rattle on top can also be detached and used separately as a standalone sensory rattle toy.

The Skip Hop Explore and More Follow Bee Crawl Toy is suitable from 6 months of age and through the toddler years as children develop their gross motor skills. The toy is most actively used during the crawling and early walking stages, typically from around 6 to 18 months. Even once walking is mastered, the lights, sounds and push-along function continue to provide engaging play for toddlers. It makes a popular gift for babies reaching their first half-birthday.

Yes - the Skip Hop Explore and More Follow Bee Crawl Toy requires batteries to power the lights, music and movement functions. Please check the product packaging for specific battery requirements. The toy has an automatic shut-off function to conserve battery life when not in use. The lights and music are designed at a baby-safe volume and brightness level that is engaging without being overwhelming for young infants.

The Skip Hop Explore and More Follow Bee Crawl Toy features a detachable bee character rattle on top of the main toy body. This removable bee can be taken off and used as a standalone rattle for babies who are not yet crawling, or as a separate toy for tummy time. The bee rattle has moveable beads and a soft, textured body that is easy for baby hands to grip and explore. It adds an extra layer of versatility and play value to the overall toy.
