CHRISTMAS GIFTS FOR BABIES:
Shopping for a young child at Christmas can be difficult, it’s hard to know what they like or even more so, what to buy! There are so many options when it comes to young childrens’ toys, but we strongly suggest opting for toys that help with a childs’ development.
At Decathlon we have products in our Baby Gym category, which includes products developed specifically for psychomotor development.

Firstly, the Baby Gym Tunnel is great for promoting crawling and creating a mini obstacle course in your own home. The baby gym tunnel comes in two connectable parts allowing you to make gradual progress and the ties make it really easy to gather up and store away. For just €23 this is a great product for your childs’ development while providing fun.
Baby gym Balance Kit:
Next up, we have the Baby gym Balance Kit. This balance kit is a very affordable €50 and it’s great for helping children learn to balance and improve their psychomotor development from age 2 to 6 years old. It has 4 beams, 4 bases and foam animals for a variety of combinations and has even been tested within groups of young children.
“The results were clear: the children who used the product for several weeks improved their balance much more than those who did not”
Baby gym foam gross motor skills set:
Finally, we want to highlight our baby gym foam gross motor skills set. Which is designed around allowing and encouraging children to learn how to jump, aim and throw, and balance while playing and having fun. It offers a range of activities best suited to children aged 1-6 years old and the benefits have been approved by a psychomotor therapist.
