Tray Play

Does your baby like water? Check. Do you have a high chair or heavy bottomed baby plate? Check. Yay! You have everything it takes to try this.

We at Red Tricycle encourage learning. That said, babies should never be left near water unattended. All of these activities should be experienced with parental supervision.
