Share:Playing time is not just essential for babies to release some extra energy. Children begin to develop their senses and find out who they are and what they like through play, even as early as their infant years. Moreover, playtime and toys are an excellent avenue for children to expand their minds, develop their physical strength, and learn all the things they need as they grow.
To get the most of the benefits of your child’s playtime, make sure you get the toys that will nurture them mentally, physically, and emotionally. Here’s a list of the best toys for your babies based on their age:
With a newborn around, it’s never too early to start a little fun and play. In their first six months, babies can already do simple things like holding their head, following objects with their eyes, responding to sounds, reaching for things with their hands, smiling, babbling, crawling, and many more. With this, there are plenty of fun ways to engage with them.
Develop their early skills and milestones with these safe and fun toys for babies up to 6 months old:
This comfy pad will be your newborn’s home for play and fun. This baby dome has colourful overhead toys they can reach with their hands. It has a comfy pad and a canopy that makes it ideal for indoor and outdoor play.
Babies will have fun playing and learning with this colourful jumperoo! This comes with overhead toys that play music and lights, and a reward sound turns on when your young one jumps. It helps develop gross motor skills, and the 360-degree rotating seat allows your child to practice grasping onto toys.
Make the most of your money with toys that can be repurposed. This Infant-To-Toddler Rocker is an infant rocker that you can convert to a cosy seat as your baby grows. It also has two animal toy friends overhead that your little one can play with.
This sweet and plush hippo will fill your newborn’s room with starry nights and soothing lullabies, nature sounds and white noise. The enhancing starlight projections and gentle music will stimulate your baby’s visual and hearing senses while allowing them to relax and settle to sleep.
In their 6-11 months, babies continue to develop their visual and hearing senses and motor skills. Your baby’s transitions from a newborn to a little older baby can be extra interesting as they now like more interaction with the world around them. This is how they learn, build their senses and reach little milestones. At this point, parents can already introduce toys that encourage sensory play and more interaction to develop their knowledge on how things work.
This educational toy will make your little one learn numbers, letters, colours, and animals in a fun way. This tablet for babies features nine images that will allow the development of visual, hearing, and speaking skills.
Babies will enjoy playing with this toy that introduces different healthy vegetables and helps develop logic, hand and eye coordination, and manual skills.

This Work Bench is also a storage box of learning toys and has a convenient handle for your baby to carry everywhere. This learning toy comes with three tools and six accessories that will allow babies to have fun and practice eye-hand coordination, logical skills, and manual skills.
Your one-year-old babies now love to explore and move around. At this point, they can already slowly stand by themselves and learn to walk around while holding on to things. They can also do other tasks for themselves, such as eating with fingers, aiming for something, and grabbing objects. Their eye, ear, and hand coordination area also improved enough to make them sing songs while making simple hand motions. They can already do a lot of little things with their growing mind!
Here are a few toys that will further develop and improve your baby’s milestones:
This Giant Rock-a-Stack takes playing with stacks to new heights at over 14 inches tall. Perfect for your 1-year-old who can grasp and shake six extra large and colourful rings to stack up on a wibbly and wobbly, giant base.

They can also enhance dexterity and hand and eye coordination by grasping and stacking the rings. Thinking skills are developed as well as they figure out how to sort and stack based on the rings’ sizes, allowing them to learn how to solve simple problems.
