TOMY International Launches Lamaze Play App Designed To Make Bonding Time With Baby More Seamless
OAK BROOK, Ill., Sept. 19, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- TOMY International today announces its new mobile application, Lamaze Play. Created in conjunction with child development experts, the app offers a guide to bonding with baby incorporating Lamaze® developmental infant toys from TOMY International. At launch, the app corresponds with six Lamaze® toys, available at select Target stores and on Target.com.
To access expert content and advice, parents and caregivers can quickly and simply download the free Lamaze Play app from the App Store or Google Play Store. The user scans a code on the toy's tag to uncover more ways to explore and play with infants, and to decide the most developmentally- appropriate and engaging toys during different ages and stages. Lamaze Play also provides 30-second videos that show each toy in use. Lamaze toys compatible with the exciting new app include: Spin & Explore Garden Gym, Mortimer the Moose, Rainbow Rings, My First Fishbowl, Counting Animals, and Mini Teether Penguin.
"Our goal in developing the Lamaze Play app was to provide today's busy, connected parents with easily accessible ways to spark creativity and extend learning and playtime with baby," said Jennifer Pondel, Director of Brand Marketing at TOMY. "We look to further developing this feature and expand the offering to other toys in the future."
Created in conjunction with child development experts, Lamaze award-winning toys encourage babies' growth and development through features that promote together time between parent and baby, while also offering activities that inspire baby to explore and learn independently. The high quality, bright colors, friendly faces, crinkly fabrics and contrasting patterns of Lamaze toys have made them a favorite of parents, babies and experts for more than two decades.
"As a trusted leader from pregnancy to parenthood, Lamaze International is proud of our long-term partnership with TOMY, and we are thrilled to have some of the Lamaze toys available in select Target stores. Parents can be confident in the high quality of Lamaze products and know that a portion of each sale gives back to our nonprofit organization to support reaching parents globally with essential, evidence-based information about safe and healthy birth and start to parenting," said Linda Harmon, MPH Executive Director/CEO of Lamaze International.
The Lamaze Play app is available in English, French and Spanish and can be downloaded now in the Apple iTunes and Google Play stores.
