If you asked me a year ago which toys would be the best ones to use for an infant I would have given you a blank stare and tried to fumble my way through an answer. Now, a year later and 12 months post-baby I have a brand new perspective on baby toys. Being a first-time mom bringing my
baby to daycare for the first time, and trying to figure out how to entertain and assist my infant in growth makes me work hard to stay on the pulse of infant toys.
Parents these days aren’t looking just for toys that will entertain their children, they are looking for toys that will also educate their children and give them a head start into the next phase of their lives. We all would like to think we have the smartest baby on the block, and that starts with getting our babies to learn things at a young age. That’s where toys come into play.
When you arrive home with your newborn baby, the baby will most likely not be interested in much of anything besides eating and sleeping for the first couple months of life, but slowly but surely your baby becomes more and more aware of their surroundings. Later as your baby develops early signs of holding up their own heads they are amazed by the smallest of movements and alert to various sounds. Once they begin rolling from side-to-side they realize that they have the ability to move like mommy and daddy and they love stimulation. Once they begin to crawl all bets are off. Anything and everything intrigues them.
I was lucky as a first time mom that with the aid of the Internet for reference, exposure to a daycare environment on a regular basis, and a close knit circle of mommies that love to blog about their babies, that I came to realize what worked in stimulating my baby at each age.
