Sassy Earth Brights Wooden Dove - Inspire baby’s ability to grasp objects with the smooth, curvy Wooden Dove.  The rounded, wing-shaped opening is sized perfectly for baby’s small hand, encouraging him to grasp the dove.  The bright tail feathers offer a variety of textured fabrics for baby to explore and crinkle when touched.    When baby is alert, touch the palm of his hand with the wooden dove and he will naturally curl his fingers around it.  At birth, your baby has an inborn ability to grasp objects, which will further develop during his first year of life until he has the coordination to pick up objects and hold them securely in his hands.    Hold the dove in front of baby, encouraging him to reach for it.  His hand-eye coordination is developing, as well as his finger dexterity.  As he gets older, baby will move the dove from hand-to-hand and explore the textured fabrics with his fingers.
