Birth to 3 months:
At this stage, babies are just beginning to learn about their environment. Black and white patterned toys that move or make sounds, such as musical mobiles, can help enhance their sensory perception.
4 to 6 months:
In this phase, babies start developing motor skills and hand-eye coordination. Interactive toys that respond when touched, like soft musical animals or an activity gym, can be highly engaging.
7 to 9 months:
As they become more mobile, babies at this age prefer toys that they can explore through touch and feel. Push-and-pull toys, or those that light up or play music when a button is pushed, can prove appealing and educational.
10 to 12 months:
Babies at this stage can sit up, grasp objects, and even start to understand cause and effect. Therefore, interactive baby toys like musical instruments, simple shape sorters, or toys that light up or buzz when manipulated can be incredibly rewarding and stimulating.
