Launch hosted by Canadian NASCAR Champion DJ Kennington
TORONTO, Oct. 11, 2013 /CNW/ - Babies start your engines! In celebration of the Canadian launch of the Fisher-Price Laugh & Learn Crawl Around Car, the latest must-have baby learning toy, Fisher-Price held a baby race-crawling event to unveil the toy. On hand to lend his expertise was Canadian NASCAR Champion, and event emcee, DJ Kennington.
"My passion for racing begins on the track, but as a parent watching my son learn and grow is the greatest thing," said Canadian NASCAR Champion, DJ Kennington. "The Laugh & Learn Crawl Around Car puts babies in the driver seat, so they can have their own adventure through learning and discovery."
The Fisher-Price Laugh & Learn Crawl Around Car is the newest addition to the Laugh & Learn product line, which is specifically geared toward play-based learning. The fun-filled, stationary vehicle reinforces movement and education through three modes of play: learning, music and imagination for babies aged six to 36 months. With interactive lights, a sound dashboard and more than 75 sing-along songs, Fisher-Price Crawl Around Car helps develop gross motor skills, such as sitting and standing, and places a focus on academic development by helping baby learn letters, colours and shapes.
"For more than 80 years, Fisher-Price has created toys that inspire learning and development," explained Riza Javellana, senior marketing manager, Fisher-Price Canada, "and the Laugh & Learn Crawl Around Car is another example of this focus. We know that parents want to offer their baby new ways to learn and play every day."
Fisher-Price is the leader in infant and preschool toys and Laugh & Learn is a product line that focuses specifically on academic learning through experiential play to inspire a love of learning early in life.
"Laugh & Learn exists to inspire the love of learning among moms and babies through unique toys catered to baby's learning milestones," said Samira Abubakar, brand manager, Fisher-Price Laugh & Learn. "Moms can also access free digital content, to support baby's learning and development, at Fisher-Price.ca."
