Checklist For Toys For Babies

Meaning and Purpose
  • Toys familiarize babies with the world.
  • The development of cognitive and motor skills is supported.
  • The imprinting of seaworthiness, sense of touch and hearing ability takes place.
  • Variety stimulates the senses – so change toys more often!
Fundamental
  • There must be no small parts that can be swallowed.
  • It is important that the toy is free of harmful substances. This can be recognized by test seals and should at best be TÜV-tested.
  • Easy cleaning is also important.
  • Baby toys in particular must be hard-wearing , as they like to be handled roughly.
  • Good workmanship is also a prerequisite. There should be no corners or edges.
0-3 Months
  • Bright colors are not necessary – your baby cannot yet perceive colors completely.
  • High-contrast pictures support the ability to focus.
  • Cuddly toys, cuddly blankets – anything soft helps your baby feel comfortable out in the world.
  • A mobile creates distraction when parents briefly leave the room.
  • Always play with dolls or cuddly toys right in front of the baby and slowly expand the radius>.
  • Plush books can also be read to babies – this encourages reading situations to develop.
  • Music boxes played on the tummy before birth give most babies security.
3-6 Months
  • Toys for grasping promote motor development.
  • Rattles or cuddly toys with sounds help the baby to make sounds on its own initiative and take away the fear of sudden noises.
  • Play trainers in the shape of a bow with different tactile objects keep babies particularly busy at this age.
  • A crackling envelope is inexpensive, long-lasting play fun under parental supervision.
From The 6th Month
  • The child’s preferences are formed – variety is particularly important now to promote flexibility.
  • Children will now chew more on toys due to their first teeth.
  • Teething rings, sturdier soft toys and cardboard picture books are ideal companions now.
Handling Toys
  • Do not overtax the child’sconcentration time : 10-15 minutes is enough.
  • Reservecomforter toys more for tearful situations.
  • Changing companion as a distraction on the changing table should have many tactile and sound possibilities.
  • Use aquiet companion made of plush without sound functions at bedtime to help the baby fall asleep.

FAQ For Toys For Babies

Baby from when toys?

When toys make sense for your baby cannot be answered in a general way, because you should always consider the individual development. Overall, you should not offer toys earlier than the manufacturer recommends. Toys with educational value, i.e. learning toys or variants that train fine motor skills or perception, are particularly nice.

When do babies reach for toys?

When a baby specifically reaches for toys or other things is individual and depends on their development. In most cases, they are able to do this from the 3rd month of life at the earliest. Before that, it is an uncontrollable grasping reflex.

Which baby toy?

Which baby toy is the best depends on the age of the baby and its individual development. You should take into account the manufacturer’s instructions and look for safe and non-toxic materials. We have picked out the best and most popular toys for babies and published them in our guide.
