Combination teething device and picture frame

Abstract

A development-promoting device for infants that combines image-based stimulation with other sensory stimuli. The device includes a teething device usable as a teething ring by an infant. The teething device is capable of housing a photograph, such as a photograph of parents. The teething device is constructed to prevent saliva from deteriorating a photograph held by the teething device when the teething device is being used as a teether. The teething device is mountable to a stand, at which point a picture frame is formed for displaying the teething device's photograph. The stand may include a suction cup to provide tip-resistant mounting of the picture frame to a smooth surface, such as a highchair's tray.
