Educo Move the dolio

Move the dolio is a small rolling toy with parts that move as it goes. A baby can grasp it, shake it and set it moving, then watch and follow where it travels. The movement is the whole point, it draws the child to reach, bat at it and go after it across the floor.

Handling and shaking it works on grasp reflexes and eye-hand coordination, while its rolling movement pulls the baby into wider motor activity as they push it and move to follow. So it covers both the small hand movements and the larger business of turning, reaching and crawling.

Babies explore by mouthing, and wooden baby toys are a common thing for them to chew on. Move the dolio has a finish made so that a child can mouth it safely as part of normal play. As always, use it with a baby who is supervised during floor time and check any toy now and then for wear.

The parts shift and shuffle as the toy is shaken or rolled, giving a changing thing to look at and listen to. That small surprise each time invites the baby to repeat the action to see it happen again, which is how early cause and effect understanding starts to form.

It is a wooden toy. Wipe it with a soft, slightly damp cloth and let it dry rather than soaking it, so the wood and finish stay in good shape. Keep it in a low basket where the baby can get to it themselves during play.

Yes. It asks only for grasping, shaking and following a moving object, so it fits the earliest stage of play and works well as a present for a new baby. As the child grows you can add sorting and stacking pieces from the same Educo range for the next steps.
