You’re little one will be working on 👉 Manual Dexterity 👉 Small motor movements 👉Gross Motor movements 👉Coordination of movements 👉 accuracy of movements 👉hand eye coordination 👉 planning 👉 strategy 👉 patience & perseverance 👉problem solving 👉auditory & visual sensory stimulation 👉focus & concentration 👉 language skills 👉 colours & counting And a whole host more.

  • My niece Lena has started teething and this morning my dad was babysitting her & gave her a #Dip spoon to help sooth her sore gums. She’s loving it. . An excellent variation of this is to dip the head in natural yogurt and freeze it for an hour or two and then give it to your little teething baby too! Cools & soothes at the same time. . . And then when she comes to Weaning she’ll be well used to using the #Dip & coordinating her movements with it that all she’ll have to focus on will be getting some yummy food from it into her tummy 😀 . . But be mindful to never leave your little one alone or unattended. Close supervision always required! . .

  • Love this pic of twins at brekkie with our #dip spoons. Doing a fantastic job of self feeding. Great work little ones. Keep it up 💖 . . Dip is a super light weight pre-spoon that helps little ones learn how to self feed, develop fine motor skills & oral motor skills. It has a small flat head on it that allows for the perfect portion size for little mouths. And has a textured head with soft silicone too. It’s also ideal for teething. 🙌 . . #dip #sip #grip #imacognikid #cognikids #finemotorskills #oralmotorskills #oralhealth #developmental #sensory #manualdexterity Available in @dunnesstores @supervalu_irl @mothercareirl @bellababystores @bellababy.uk @wearekidly @eurobabynursery @boots.ireland

  • This little one has some awesome #Sip skills! 🙌💖 Yes #Open Cups are recommended from 6mths of age. Read the points below to find out why. Also to see the benefits of our Sip cups. 😀 . 👉 Both the HSE (Irish) & NHS ( N. Ireland & UK) recommend that Open Cups are introduced at 6mths of age. 👉 You May feel that this is early but it is a well researched & documented approach in the medical & child development field. 👉 The benefits are numerous, from healthy oral development to increased confidence & independence. 👉 The muscles in the mouth (oral fine motor skills) are developed & enhanced. 👉 The tongue movements required to #Sip from an Open Cup are very different from those used to drink from a bottle, and will now be developed - up until now they are not present or used. 👉 The lower jaw & tongue will begin to move independently from each other with practice & exposure to Open Cup use. This is very important. 👉 The lower jaw will become more stable. 👉 Open cup use encourage healthy palette formation also. 👉 Open cups encourage the liquid to move to back of the mouth immediately which means that teeth are not bathed in the liquid & therefore protected. 👉 using our Sip cup little ones also have an amazing grip on the outside that ensures stable & comfortable control of the cup for your little one with multiple hold options. 👉 The internal cup part is specifically designed to introduce small amounts of liquid in Open Cups with a clever base that holds the water even if it toppled over. 👉 The base is also very slightly weighted to make it topple resistant 👉 The grip helps to develop fine motor skills in the hands 👉 and something that is super important too, is that there are little volume marks on both side so that you can keep an eye on how much your little is getting. 👉 They can also be used as portion pots! 👉And like our #dip spoon, our #Sipcup can be used for years beyond the Weaning Stage. 👉Successful Self feeding is promoted which boost confidence & independence. ***NOW IN @dunnesstores @supervalu_irl @bellababystores @mothercareirl @boots.ireland @bellababy_twickenham @wearekidly @uberkids online at cognikids.com #oralhealth #cognikids
  • We just love to hear how your little ones are getting on with our products. And this feedback makes our heart sing 💖 . What makes our #Dip spoon so great? Well read on peeps! You’ll be amazed at how awesome & transformative this little item is! 💖👌🤩 Our #dip spoon is so great for weaning ( & beyond). It helps on so many levels. 👉 The flat head means that there is no need to worry about trying to keep food in the ‘scoop’, & the focus can be on the coordination of hand to mouth motor movements. 👉 The flat head is textured to encourage the beginning of the chewing stage. 👉 The flat textured head is ideal to introduce textures from the beginning even if only using purées. Making the transition to lumpy foods easier. 👉 The flat head also means there is no right way or wrong way to hold it. 👉 There is a little module where the handle & head meet & this can help to trigger the suck reflex which will help little ones to get food off the head. 👉 The head is also ideal size for baby’s mouth. Not oversized. Especially important when food is added to the head of any spoon it can overwhelm the little one & make them gag / or even vomit. 👉 The handle is made from 2 different materials which add to the tactile sensory experience of feeding. The squishy silicone makes it extremely comfortable to hold and even to play with! 👉 The holes in the handle ensure that this is one of the lightest spoons on the market. 👉 The holes also allow for easy holding ensuring that your little one can find the most comfortable grip for themselves. 👉 The combination of the holes & the different materials endure your little one is encouraged to develop their fine motor skills & manual dexterity. 👉 The shape of the handle offers multi position holding for comfortable & fuss free & frustration free holding. And it also ensure no slipping from their grip when hands are covered in their meals! And let’s face it, Weaning is a messy business 🤣 👉 The Dip is designed through intimate knowledge & understanding of child development & oral motor development. And the results speak for themselves. 👉And lastly, bonus, you can use the #Dip for teething too! . . #dip #cognikids #imacognikid
  • Posted on igtv also. Full length video. Easier to see. For some reason it hasn’t sized properly here on the grid.🙄🙈😀 .. Sensory Bottle Play for 4mths up. . Here are two very quick & easy sensory bottle ideas suitable from 3 - 4mths up. As with all sensory play it’s best to not overload the different systems with too much happening in one go so these little bottles are ideal. The first one focuses on the visual senses. The second focuses on auditory & will engage the visual also. . Less really is more. . In this I also made sure to use things they you’ll have in your house already. So no expense needed. . The little bottles I use are those tiny ones that can be used for carry on luggage when flying. I had a couple spare and I’m sure there are suitable variations in your house too. Just remember to keep the bottles small for small hands. Also means they won’t be too heavy either. For older babies & toddlers you can upscale these bottles to a suitable size alternative. And you can even get older kiddos to help you make them too. Adding in a lot of fine motor skill development, focus & concentration along with accuracy development. . . . #cognikids #imacognikid #sensoryplayideas #sensory #buildingbetterbrains #developingyoungminds #visual #auditory #senses #fourmonthsplus #playideas #sensorysunday
