Which Baby Toys Are Best For Your Baby?

Executive summary about Which Baby Toys Are Best For Your Baby by Lee Brochstein

Playing helps develop a baby’s social, emotional, language, intellectual, and problem-solving skills. Batting at a mobile, giving a musical ball a shove, or transferring a rattle from one hand to another helps babies learn about the world. When you choose toys and activities that enhance your child’s development, you’re speaking your baby’s language and helping him foster cognitive and social skills he can build on. Babies enjoy looking at the world around them–lights, shapes, patterns, and colors. Rattles and play keys with high-contrast colors that make interesting noises because babies can see bright colors and shapes of rattles and play keys, feel their smooth or nubby texture, hear their rattling or clinking sound, and mouth them, which stimulates brain development. That helps babies learn about cause and effect–if they shake a rattle or keys, they make a sound.

By now, babies can reach for and grasp objects, move them from one hand to the other, and play with their feet. Like rattles and play keys, activity gyms help babies explore their environment through their senses of sound, touch, sight, and taste. Starting at about 9 months, babies play by shaking, banging, throwing, and dropping toys. Stacking and nesting also help babies develop the fine-motor skills of grasping and releasing, and the visual ability to align one object with another. Be sure that you interact while your baby is playing.
