Valuable Information Regarding The Top Baby Toys

By Celia Hall


Toys are a useful tool to use through the various stages of an infant's development. They help to stimulate the five senses: touch, taste, smell, sight and hearing. You don't have to spend a fortune at the store for your infant to learn. A newborn's attention span is short. This means your little one will tire of toys quickly. Household items are great additions to store-bought top baby toys. The added bonus is saving money. Always make sure toys or objects are safe, age appropriate and non-toxic.

Choose colorful objects with bold graphics to develop vision and focus. Since a newborn's vision is not fully developed at this time, the bright colors capture their attention better. Get creative and look around your house for items, even colorful and crumpled tissue paper. Many parents are surprised at what they are able to find in the home that will capture their baby's attention.

Many babies today are in love with toys that flash several different bright colors and play musical tunes. A lot of mothers believe that their little one is capable of hearing and responding to music while they are in the womb. Sounds and rhythms excite many babies. Music is able to work wonders for a newborn, especially when they are restless and have a difficult time getting to sleep.

If you would like, you can purchase a music box or play a CD that you have. Rattles are a great toy to purchase because they are also toys that help with your infant's developmental skills. A lot of parents like rattles because they are available in several different colors and they are available with several different features.

Infants are fascinated by the reflection of their own face. Use a mirror to help your little one focus better. Slowly touch each part of your infant's face while naming each part. Your little one's world is expanding and they are becoming more mobile. Even though many babies will still have interest in musical and colorful toys, it is time to add a few new items.

As your little one is growing, so will the development of hand-eye coordination. Nesting cups are colorful and a great learning tool. Even though your bundle of joy might not get the cups stacked just right, she will enjoy trying. If your little one gets discouraged, that's alright. Just try again on another day.

Pop-up picture books are a great for babies. They are necessarily toys, but when the pictures pop-up from the page, your baby will be excited and want to read every day. Some of these books are available with lights and sound. There are several pop-up picture books that your child may enjoy that have pictures of some of their favorite characters from a TV show.

Balls come in every shape and size imaginable. Be creative and think of different games you can include a ball with. You can hand your toddler a ball and see what happens. Try rolling the ball slowly and see if your bundle of joy will roll it back. Because balls are colorful, your little one might be happy with the mere sight of the toy. There are plenty of top baby toys available, but you will be surprised at what you baby decides to play with.
