Frequently Asked Questions
The Play Gym is designed for ages 0–12 months, but many toddlers enjoy it, too. You can easily transform your Play Gym into a cozy fort for your toddler by attaching the Play Space Cover.
The Play Kits for babies and The Play Gym complement each other with very little overlap. Both are stage-based to nurture your baby’s overall growth, but with distinct focuses: The Play Gym offers a full year of play to support foundational brain development, while The Play Kits target specific developmental windows every 2 months.
Watch our assembly videos here.
Activity Mat, Organic Cotton Teether, and Montessori Ball: Remove any cards from the Learn to Focus Zone, close the 3 corner attachment straps to form a circle (this prevents snagging).
Teething Ring: Untie the Crinkle Teether fabric from the ring. Machine wash the fabric items using cold water on a gentle cycle. We recommend air drying all fabric items.
Wooden and plastic components: Wipe with a damp cloth and non-abrasive cleaner as needed. Check regularly to ensure all attachment straps and plastic connection points are secure.
If you received your Play Gym after February 2024, you can purchase a new connector here(linked page). If you have an older Play Gym, please connect with our Customer Support team for further assistance.
