Top Toys for Babies

Birth to 6 months
Always check toy labels for the recommended ages!
Babies like primary colors, contrast, clear lines and features, simple design, and human features, e.g., eyes.
Infants 0 to 2 months enjoy seeing interesting things.
Infants 2 to 6 months enjoy touching, holding, batting, shaking, kicking, and mouthing objects.
-Toys for watching are more interesting if they move and make noise; the movement should be slow and noise not loud or sudden.
-Mouthable toys should have no sharp points or edges; no small parts; no electrical parts; no toxic materials; no glass or brittle plastic; no long strings; or no parts that can entrap fingers, toes, or hands.
