Recommended Baby Toys for 0 to 12 Months Old
Tuesday, August 16, 2011

Choosing the right kind of baby toys is extremely important.  With so many options for toys for infants, baby toys available online and baby toys on sale, buying the perfect toy can be quite tedious. So before you head out to any toy store, it’s necessary to understand the different stages in babies’ first few months and their specific needs.

0-1 Month: The baby learns to have strong reflex movements which are evident with their sucking reflexes. The baby responds to familiar objects and people as well as to familiar sounds and bright lights. During this cognitive process, parents can give soft baby toys and rattles in bright colours.

1-3 Months: A little more mature with motor skills, the baby is now more curious and turns towards sounds. The baby will love baby toys that can be held and played with. At this stage, the baby also starts to make vowel noises. Engage in some baby talk to stimulate language skills and get baby toys like musical play sets.

3-6 months: The baby is now starting to grow teeth and will roll from his tummy to his back, mimic sounds and gestures and even learn to make different sounds for different needs. Baby toys with vibrant colours, in different textures become their favourite play things. Squeaky toys are particularly inviting. Be careful to choose toys for infants without choking hazards for your baby’s safety.

6-9 Months: By this time, babies can sit, begin to crawl and explore. Playtime baby toys like colourful balls and toys that move give the baby the opportunities to practice these newly acquired developmental skills.

9 -12 Months: As the baby approaches 1 year old, he will likely venture to explore his new world. Parents might want to give four-wheel walkers and even ride-ons. Also, let them play with simple puzzles, shapes and building blocks for motor skills.
