Entertaining Baby -
Toys that Teach
 The
first two years of life are an important time of
growth and development for your baby. Make that
time count with developmental toys that will
teach as they entertain. There are plenty of
good choices in educational toys for the babes
of our bunch today, and these items will help
your baby to develop and grow as they provide
fun and interest. So how do you know what the
"cream of the crop" might be for toys geared to
babies and toddlers? Read on for what to look
for in the best choices for your child!
New Toys for New Babies
Feed the rapid development in the first six
months of life with educational toys that are
designed to stimulate the mind and the senses.
Infants can use toys for cognitive, creative and
social development. Don't forget about all
important motoring skills that will prepare your
child for the rolling, crawling and walking that
lies ahead either. Look for bright-coloured
objects that have contrasting textures and
patterns. Developmental toys that you can hang
from your child's infant seat or play gym will
encourage hand-eye coordination and motor skills
by enticing your little one to grasp interesting
objects. "Whoozit" is a great line of infant
toys that will give your tyke plenty to see,
feel and taste.
Movements and sounds will also stimulate the
senses, and studies support the idea that music
can enhance cognitive development. This
phenomenon even has a name; the Mozart Effect,
which says that exposure to melodies allows
information to transport to the brain more
efficiently. Research has also shown that music
has a peaceful effect can indeed "calm the
savage beast" - or at least the grouchy baby!
Find musical developmental toys that your baby
can watch and hear to his tiny heart's content.
Entertaining the
Discriminating Toddler
One of the first words to come to mind when you
think of a toddler is "mobile." And while
mobility means a lot more chasing for Mum and
Dad, it is an important developmental phase that
should be encouraged. Look for developmental
toys that will encourage your child to crawl and
walk by chasing or following moving objects.
Toys that require stacking and filling are other
good choices for motor development. As language
is coming into play, add educational toys that
will develop these skills as well. Role play
toys like plastic food and play tools will help
your child to identify with the two most
important people in his life - his parents.
There are a number of toy manufacturers that
will fit the bill in offering developmental and
educational toys for children in this age
bracket, including Fisher Price, V-tech and
Manhattan Baby Toys. Check these companies out
for their award-winning assortments that will
give you peace of mind in knowing that your
child is playing with the best developmental toy
choices possible. |
