What's The Best Baby Toy For Your Child?

My experience shows picky parents simply make enough time to choose the right toy for their child. Stated differently, many parents spend too little time to choose a toy that's just right for developing their child's skills.

Of course, that could be because they really don't know what best. So here's a shortcut guide to choosing great baby toys you can use next time:

For newborns...

Start off by getting mobiles and activity centers. They're always great value-for-money infant toys.

Baby toys for infants younger than 6 months

Choose from mobiles, chiming toys, activity centers, mats, rattles, teething rings, soft blocks, soft toys, bold colorful pictures and toys in different textures. Even toys such as squeeze toys can also be very helpful to promote clutching and handling.

For 6-9 month olds

As a general rule of thumb, the best toy buys are building blocks, activity centers, activity boxes and cubes, stacking ring & cones, material and board books, crawling tunnels and bath toys.

For 9-12 month olds

Choose building blocks, stacking blocks and rings, nesting cups, cardboard and material books, push and pull toys, containers, large crayons, crawling tunnels, spades and buckets... to name but a few fun toys.

Toys for those older than 12 months

Choose basic puzzles (preferably with knobs for easy handling), wooden toys, music toys, brooms, toy telephones, balls, push and pull toys, stable ride-on toys, toy cars, tractors and picture books.

And if you're looking for a great learning toy for this age... also consider hammering toys.
