Baby Toys

Babies use their developing senses to learn about their world. Baby toys play an important role in this process. Sounds, textures, and movement all stimulate awareness for a baby. Rattles not only make sounds, but also allow a baby to understand their participation in creating sound.

Baby toys combining textures, sounds, and movements create multiple sensory events. Infants enjoy musical crib mobiles, soothing teething rattles, and brightly colored, varied texture, activity centers.

Activity blankets combine essential tummy time with portable actions to explore.

Some toys have related components so that as a baby grows, the same pieces can be used in new ways with other components, reinventing the toy while retaining its original fascination.

Older babies enjoy bath toys, stacking toys, nesting toys, and shape sorter toys which they can begin to manipulate, if only by tossing or knocking over.
