Baby Toys: Helping kids grow delightfully
A baby is a bundle of joy to us, and to ensure that this bundle is cheerful you need to provide him/ her with appropriate toys that keep him/ her gurgling with joy and also help in a holistic development of the mind and body.
Choosing the right kind of toy for your baby is thus of utmost importance. Baby toys are generally made of soft materials and/or virgin plastic so as to minimize the possibility of scratches, rash or cuts and abrasions to the tender skin of a baby. The baby toys are also, in general, of bright and contrasting colors so as to literally “catch the baby’s eye”. Many baby toys produce simple sounds on handling so as to capture the little owner’s attention. Specially made chewable toys are also available to help teething babies.
Before going for a baby toy you should always keep in mind the following safety measures to ensure your infant’s well being:
- Material of the toy should not cause irritation or injury to the baby.
- The toy should not have detachable parts upon which the baby could choke.
- The material of the toy should not be carcinogenic.
- The toys should be washable to ensure good hygiene.
- It should be a product of an established manufacturer.
Once you have observed the aforesaid precautionary measure you will have to choose the suitable toy for your baby as per the age group. An infant till the age of a year passes through a varied number of stages that require an ever changing plethora of toys to suit their current needs. Following are the various stages in which your infant’s first year can be divided so as to give you the necessary information regarding when you need to buy what kind of toys.
- 0-1 Months: The baby with limited uses of his/her senses will prefer toys with bright contrasting colors. Rattles and soft toys could probably excite them more.
- 1-3 Months: A little more mature with motor skills, the baby will love toys that can be held and played with. Elastic and bendable plastic toys or soft toys with movable appendages are appreciated.
- 3-6 months: The baby is now starting to grow teeth, so the world is an exciting place where everything’s up for a bite! Chewy toys of plastic or rubber (not small enough to be swallowed), colorful stacking blocks and toys with complex sounds are a best bet to “buy” the attention of your baby.
- 6-9 Months: Babies are generally sitting up and trying to crawl by now, so colorful balls and movable toys which stimulate the baby to chase after them and in the process start to crawl, are the toys to be bought.
- 9-12 Months: Now the baby is on the move and desperately trying to grab hold of things to stand up and explore the vicinity. A four-wheel walker is the need of the hour. Apart from that, little complex shape recognition puzzles and building blocks can also be provided.
So, now that you know what to look for, when buying the right toy for your baby, its best that you go and get a reason of your bundle of joy to be cooing with delight!

My son's favorite "toy" was a red and blue plaid blanket! It started when he was just a couple of months old. When I would make our bed in the morning I would put him in the middle and "float" the blankets down on him, he loved the red and blue plaid coming down on him. Later, as he learned to sit-up he liked to stay on the blanket. It was like an invisible play-pen. As he got older he would grab an edge and roll up in it. I'd just put it in the middle of where ever I was working and he would stay put! Well, at least until he was about seven and a half months. He and I both loved that blanket, kept him quiet and happy and I could get stuff done. Next came cardboard boxes. I would tip one on it's side, he would crawl in and have a ball.
We would buy him toys, but his favorites were the blanket, the box and a ball. Educational toys are great, don't get me wrong, but those three items let his imagination soar! They could be anything, take him any place, and he could do whatever. They gave him and me much pleasure!
My son got a stuffed dog that when you press it's ear it barks and then starts vibrating and making an awful sound. I hate that toy.
aww its so cute when he gets stuck under the chair! and i absolutely love this song even though i dont speak french! I’ve looked ‘coeur de pirate’ up on iTunes and now i have her on my iPod!
I have bought many toys and these are about the only ones my daughter loves to play with…..
Laugh and Learn Kitchen, it is so cool. It makes real noises, and sings songs and teaches them there abc's, colors, shapes, open/close, on/off, 123's and much more It's about 60.00 dollars and you can buy it at walmart. It's 6 months to 36. She loves it.
Laugh and learn puppy..also at walmart and i think i paid 20 dollars for it. It sings, laughs, counts, sneezes, says I love you, and teaches you body parts. Also 6-36 months
And this fisher price sea horse thing. it's like a glow worm and it only cost about 10.00 i bought it at target. My daughter loves it, sleeps with it everynight, doesn't really like anyone else playing with it. And she takes it ever where she goes. She has been attached to this thing since she was 10 months old and now at 15 months she is still in love with it. And wont go to bed with out it.
i would say buy things that teaches them, and is fun for you and your baby. Buy things that seem like they would last along time. Baby's love music and lights so buy something with that too. If you have anyother questions feel free to e-mail~
LOL
Redbull and Babies dont mix (o:
i want this existence.
It was called Baby Surprise. This was the baby that came with the cloth pouch that you put in the water so that the cloth would dissolve. Enclosed was the baby's "papers" and its name, which you would mail into the company so the baby would be registered to you. There was also puppy surprise, and kitty surprise.
Sound like the right one?
Very cute idea… I should do that with my son.
D’aww! X33
The Zoo!
there are so many different animals in the zoo gift shop that make sounds!!!! Every time we go there, we have a look and theres just too much to choose from!
If you don't live near a zoo you could proably get the same sort of stuff from a wild life park or any place based on animals that's designed for kids!
