The action of holding Poppy and pulling out or pushing in the flowers also helps develop bilateral integration, which is the ability to coordinate both sides of the body and cross the body’s midline. Children can also stack Poppy’s 2-piece flowers, then count them up with this flowerpot toy, or simply enjoy hours of imaginary play with this friendly, colourful toddler toy.
