Toys are the best source of
entertainment as well as education to your toddler. We are lucky to be living
in a progressive world where all kinds of toys books and accessories are
available for your babies comfort and entertainment.
The 1st year toys of the babies have
to be bought with lots of thought, they should be soft and of good quality no
kind of toxic plastic should be bought. It’s vital as whatever toys they play
with will invariably land up in their mouth all the time. So while selecting
their toys that should be kept in mind. The toy should have soft edges so that
the baby doesn’t get hurt with it.
0-3 months- The best toys for this
age group is noisy rattles. Toys R Us has a huge range of Fisherprice rattles
even Mother Care makes some very cute colorful and noisy rattles for infants.
Putting up a musical chime on the baby cot is also a good entertainer. Make
sure the baby chime has soft music that you can put on even when the baby is
sleeping. It is proved fact; music soothes the baby and helps them sleep
calmly.
3-6 months – Baby gym or Play mat is
a perfect gift for your little one, available n Toys R Us as well as Babies R
Us. It’s a perfect toy, you can place your baby on the mat, the mats are
decorated with lots of soft toys, noisy rattles and a baby safe mirror. At this
age the babies are very inquisitive they want to hold everything, so rattles
and soft toys on the play mat will keep them busy. Seeing their own reflection
in the baby mirror will keep the baby amused and interested.While the baby is
busy on the mat the mom can do some of her own work making sure the baby is in
your eye view. You can also invest in a good musical rocking chair for your
baby.
6-9 months – Your baby is getting
more and more inquisitive. They want to reach out to everything. If your baby
falls in the hyper active stage then for sure she must have started her
crawling by now. By this time hopefully you have put up all the safety hooks
and latches all over your house. For this period colorful noisy toy with lights
is a good pick. Buy a soft colourful teether also as at this stage the babies’
gums are irritable and they tend to chew on every toy they have in their hand.
So best is to invest in a good teether and give it to them. But at least buy 3
- 4 teether’s and make sure you keep them sterilized.Soft toys play phones with
lights even soft colorful books of Touch and Feel are a good toy for your
baby’s stage.
9-12 months- They are now a bundle
of activity and keeping them entertained is an uphill task. Kids at this age
get bored out of toys easily. Within minutes they are on something else. For
this age pull along toys or colorful blocks or different sized and colorful
balls are a good pick. If your city has a beach then buying them sand toys is a
must.
At this age taking the kids to the
park and giving them bucket and a shovel to play in the sand pits is good fun.
Taking them for a swim with colorful floats is also a good pass time. While
playing with them it’s also advisable to start teaching them thru books. Stuff
like recognitions of household things like fan light table chair sofa. Teach
them animal names thru books also about colors and shapes. Talk about all the
above to your child they will not reciprocate but trust me they are so
intelligent and you wont even know how well they have absorbed all your
teachings.
Nowadays when we go to buy toys
every store has toys with the age suitable printed on the box, as per that pick
up your baby toys.
