Toys For Babies

2. The development of a baby begins as soon
as she/he is born. From the first month, your
baby’s senses begin to develop.

4. Babies below one month can only utilize
their eyesight, and their vision is limited to
about 15 inches. Bright colors often
captivate them.

5. Toys for Babies between One
and Six months
• Mobile
A mobile with high-contrast colors and
patterns adds a new dimension to a
baby’s view of life. Mobiles should be
hang directly over the baby’s crib, in their
line of sight.

6. • Mirror
Although not often referred to as a toy, a
mirror is essential for a baby’s
development. Babies are fascinated by
their own reflection, and it is not unlikely to
find your baby making faces at their
reflection, and reacting to them. This helps
in the social development of the baby.

8. • Rattles
As babies grow, at about four months,
they are able to flex their fingers, and lose
the trademark clenched fist. This means
that they can hold stuff like rattles in their
hands. They are also developing their
hearing sense and are often fascinated by
the noise from shaking the rattles.

10. • Soft rubber, sensory and stuffed toys
Sensory toys tweet when pressed. These
aids in keeping babies alert as they try to
identify the source of the noise. Soft
rubber toys are essential for exercising,
and the child enjoys pressing and
releasing them unconsciously.

12. Toys for Babies between Six
and Twelve months
Babies now develop vigor in their activities.
Their movements have more precision.
Their brains develop fine motor skills.
Babies at this stage are able to sit upright
and later in this age, at about ten months,
they start moving around, crawling, cruising,
and some even taking steps unaided.

13. • Push toys
Carts and wagons can be introduced to a
walking child. Leaning and pushing these
objects enables the babies exercise their
walking skills.

14. • Balls
All babies are often fascinated by balls. It
is advisable to start with soft fabric balls
and advance to inflatable plastic and
rubber later. Rolling one on the floor back
and forth between yourself and the baby
keeps him active and provides for bonding
between the baby and you.

16. • Blocks
You can demonstrate how to stack blocks
and how to pile them in containers.
However, the interesting part for them is
always knocking down the stack, or
emptying the container.

17. Much later you can introduce blocks of
different shapes, sizes and colors. These
new developments register in the child’s
brain and consequently you will observe
their behaviors change.

18. • Books
You can start reading to the child aloud.
Books with multi-colored pictures, pull tabs
and varying texture get the most attention.

20. Toys for Babies over one year
old
These are kids who are able to walk around,
can feed themselves, although not
effectively, and at times want to be left
alone. This is the perfect time to introduce
dolls and miniature household items. It is
always interesting to watch the kids exercise
their freedom and try to replicate adult
activities.
