0-1 Year
Playtime is important for infant development, and these toys can be a big help (and big fun).
When choosing toys for your new baby, stick with safe, simple objects that encourage exploration and open-ended play. Things like rattles and other grabbing toys, balls and board books are great for encouraging developmental milestones.
What to Look for in Baby Toys for 1-Year-Olds
Ease of Use
Make sure your baby toy is easy to use for both you and your child. You want to make sure the toy is lightweight enough for your baby to carry and lift it while also having easy to use features. It's also important that it can be easily wiped clean and stored.
Hazard Free
Babies love to grab, chew and throw things so choose toys that are made up of safe, non-toxic materials, have soft edges, and don't have any small pieces they could come loose and become a choking hazard.
Educational
Toys can help fine-tune your child's motor skills, sensory development, and more. The best baby toy will introduce them to different colors, numbers, textures, sounds, and much more.
Age
Always check the age range on the toys you plan to buy. While you may be excited to teach your little one new things, you want to find a toy that they will be able to comprehend and fully engage with.
