Tips and toys for stimulating your baby’s development

The time from newborn to toddler flies by so fast, and there’s a lot to take in – actually, everything. From learning to recognize basic colors and simple shapes to running around on your own two feet, nothing gets your baby’s development going like playtime.

Learning in good company

Toys help babies develop their senses and make the surroundings feel more familiar after a while. A baby gym is good for exercising eye-hand coordination, just as a baby mobile helps stimulate eyesight – but the colorful shapes are also excellent friends to simply have around.

Levelling up your skills

From 6 months your little one is busy exploring and there are many toys that can encourage development – like a shape sorter or a playbook that stimulates motor skills. It’s all safe, too, so don’t worry if it goes into the mouth.

Constructivism and creativity

Around 1 year most children are well into experimenting and discovering. Structures, colors and patterns enhance the play-and-learn experience, like these stacking rings that stimulate both logical thinking and creativity.
