Baby Toys

It pays to put plenty of thought into selecting baby toys as studies have shown children can boost their brain development by playing with certain objects and seeing certain colours.

Research has shown that until a child is around six months old, they can gain positive effects from seeing bold, contrasting colours and graphics. These vibrant colours will captivate their attention, encourage visual development and physical movement like waving, kicking and wiggling.

A one-month old child has the ability to appreciate sounds and soft music, such as wind chimes. Toys and objects that move slowly and produce a soft sound are more interesting for babies, so find toys that can play nursery rhymes or lullabies.

Some of the best baby toys are building blocks, sorting and stacking toys. These help to develop baby’s motor skills as well as teach them about shapes, sizes and colours. Babies should be given a combination of different toys to teach them the difference between textures and materials, such as soft chew toys and rattles.

Bath toys are also interesting and educational baby toys. Babies love bath time so bath toys can help enhance their learning process, such as rubber duckies and bath puppets.
