We stock Fat Brain Toy Co because they fundamentally understand that touch is a primary learning channel for infants and toddlers. Their use of food-grade silicone in frames like the Dimpl range offers a unique resistance that builds finger strength more effectively than standard buttons. The 'pop' sensation provides immediate auditory and tactile rewards, encouraging repetitive manipulation.
When children engage with these products, we see them experimenting with suction, rotation, and texture. Toys like Squigz encourage experimental construction where the physics of suction cups dictates the build, rather than interlocking bricks. This forces children to problem-solve how to connect organic shapes in stable ways.
Fat Brain’s approach to colour and shape is also distinct. They avoid the primary-only palette in favour of vibrant, modern hues that stimulate visual tracking without overwhelming the child. The durability of the silicone components means these sensory tools withstand heavy oral exploration, which is a critical phase of early development.
