FAQ For Toys For Babies
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 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 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.
