Baby Toys: Pick the Right Ones!

Toys are the best companion of every child. They just love being surrounded by beautiful and colorful toys of different kinds. For making your child smart and alert, you can give her or him the best combination of toys. Here is an example of toy category that may help you to get the best for your child.

Listen to Different Sounds

Fill each container with a different object that will make a noise when the container is shaken, such as, large jingle bells, rubber balls, wooden blocks, and large plastic beads. Be sure to also use objects like feathers or cotton balls that will not make noise. If baby is coordinated enough to open the lid of the container, be sure to use only items that do not pose a choking hazard.

When the containers are filled, encourage baby to shake them or roll them back and forth to the parent. Give baby language for the sounds that she is hearing. For example, say, “I don’t hear anything. Those cotton balls are silent.” Or “Jingle, jingle, I hear bells!” Older babies can even compare two different sounds.
