This Busy Time Activity Center is the result of a collaboration between Parents, America's foremost family magazine, and Manhattan Toy. This lovely, wooden activity center looks as much like a sleek piece of furniture as it does a developmental toy, and every surface provides a different stimulating world to explore. The colorful bead maze builds motor skills and eye hand coordination; the xylophone teaches cause and effect, promotes a love of music, and provides auditory stimulation; colorful, lettered pockets with drop-in objects promote eye/hand coordination and accompanies kids on the road to literacy; and turning knobs and spinning balls capture babies' sense of wonder and imaginations.
