# Sensory Development Robots Infantino's Sensory Toy Features Different Textures, Sounds and Colors By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2017-02-17 | Life-Stages Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sensory-toy References: [mynewsdesk](http://www.mynewsdesk.com/uk/bastion-uk/images/infantino-bkids-bv-sensory-discovery-robot-753685) & [infantino](https://www.infantino.com/collections/toys) At this year's New York Toy Fair, [Infantino](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modern-baby-carriers) introduced a new sensory toy collection that features a range of high-quality materials, textures, sounds, lights and colors to stimulate a child's curiosity. Rather than boasting a completely uniform design, the robot toy has arms and legs that are mismatched, each of which creates a different sensation when touched. In the process of encouraging an exploration of the senses, the toy also helps young children to develop [essential motor skills](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sensory-balls). The Sensory Discovery Robot has a number of parts that kids can push, pull and play with to activate different features of the toy. The sensory toy collection specifically for newborns to babies up to a year old also includes Leon the Chameleon Light and the award-winning Shape sorter. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.9/10 - Popularity: 70% | Activity: 70% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Alpha - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Life-Stages](https://www.trendhunter.com/life-stages) > [Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/toys) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Sensory Development:** Opportunity for creating innovative toys that stimulate various senses and contribute to the development of essential motor skills in children. - **High-quality Materials:** Advancement in the use of premium materials in toy production, allowing for enhanced tactile experiences and sensory exploration. - **Interactive Features:** Demand for interactive toys with push, pull, and play features that engage children and promote curiosity. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Toy Manufacturing:** Toy manufacturers can create a new line of sensory toys that prioritize the development of sensory skills and motor skills in infants and young children. - **Early Childhood Education:** Educational institutions and early childhood development centers can incorporate sensory toys into their curriculum to facilitate learning and promote sensory exploration. - **Children's Retail:** Retailers can diversify their offerings by stocking a range of high-quality sensory toys, catering to the growing demand for interactive and developmentally beneficial toys. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Interactive Sensory Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sensory-bright-light-station.md) - [Kids' Interactive Sensory Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/interactive-and-multisensory-toys.md) - [Smart Sensory Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/peel-play.md) - [Developmental Bath Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bath-toy-collection.md) - [Multisensory Toy Boxes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/janod-box.md) - [Sensory Dough Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/playdoh-6-variety-compounds.md) - [Interactive Educational Toy Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/educational-toy-line.md) - [Animal-Inspired Sensory Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spike-the-fine-motor-hedgehog-fidget-friend.md) - [Sensory Audio Companions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/my-first-tonies.md)
