Babies
toys
Learning 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 forbabies or older
children we should always ensure they are
age appropriate and always have the
safety kite mark.
For newborn babies the
best babies 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 baby 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
that babies toys have 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
whilst baby is enjoying stimulation and
play.
