Here’s why baby time equals playtime

Who invented work? Your baby doesn’t know. They don’t draw a line between toy time, bath time and food time. All these are playtime to your baby and every child has the right to play. But what about your time? Grown-ups work, kids play, right? Taking your baby’s lead can make everything you do with your baby feel a little more like playtime for you, too. From your first goofy smile at your baby, you’re playing. If you don’t let yourself forget it, that smile will stick around.

Learning in good company

Toys help babies develop their senses and get used to different environments. A baby gym is suitable for training hand-eye coordination and a mobile stimulates visual development. Of course, the colourful shapes of a mobile also simply create a cosy atmosphere.

“A baby quickly sees a surprising object as a favourite toy. Think of a cheerful green frog with black dots that makes a nice sound when you rattle it.”

Little by little, becoming more skilled

From six months, your baby will start exploring the world around him. There are many types of toys that can help your baby with this, such as a shape sorter or a playbook to stimulate your child's motor skills. All these toys are safe, so it is not a problem if your child puts them in his mouth.
