Babies toys
Babies toys are great for stimulating their mind and also teaching them lots of information, Babies toys which they will use more as they are growing are a good start in life because they remember a lot as they are growing, just a shame us parents have lost ours since having kids and fitting so much into our schedules.
There are lots of choice in babies toys for our kids out now and so many new ones coming out regularly. When buying new toys for babies or older children we should always ensure they are age appropriate and always have the safety kite mark.
For newborn babies the best baby's toys and comfort friends are the cuddly teddy bear also lots of bright, colourful and musical toys, a soft chewable teething rattle as it soothes the baby’s gums and also stimulates play. Also cot mobiles with lots of soothing lights and sounds to help baby drift of to sleep.
For 0 to 6 months Play mat’s are great because they are soft so a newborn baby can lay on it, also as they get bigger they can learn and play with the flaps that make a crunch noise and mirrors which baby loves to play peek a boo, also noisy rattles keep them amused for hours.
6 to 12 months Once baby reaches this stage in life they begin to be aware of there favourite fluffy toy or blanket and know when they haven’t got this with them. Toys for fun at this stage can be Learning and activity toys that are usually small enough for a little baby to grasp hold of, or if the child is older can have fun while furthering their education unbeknown to them. You should consider walker toys which are loved by all children especially when they feel so proud when they move it and begin to walk
1 to 2 years Any toy that a child can pull or can press buttons that make a noise, toy telephones are good also building blocks can help with babies imagination, tiny soft bodied dolls are great too any toy which helps baby to learn are great including colouring and arts and crafts are ideal for babies imagination.
2 to 3 years Bikes and scooters are wonderful for children of this age group as they can go out more and enjoy the fresh air learning to ride their bikes, and learn how to keep their balance on scooters plus it teaches them road safety at the same time, and not talking to strangers this is a big learning process for children and they love to learn. That’s why they are always asking questions to gain more information before they proceed on to nursery school.
3 to 5 years Where did those years go, your precious baby is no longer a baby they are children now and ready to go off to nursery then Pre School. But the best toys will be the characters they watch and see on television e. g. Winnie the pooh, in the night garden, Dora or Diego. Any item that keeps your child’s mind active at this age will be a god send for both child and parent.
Always ensure when a child has a toy that there are no small parts that could harm or be a choking hazard. But even so always ensure that an appropriate adult can watch at all times just in case any accident does occur.
