Toys For Newborns
By:

One of the greatest things about childhood,
which you may or may not remember, is all
the toys! Even though it may be a year
before your baby starts really showing how
interested they are in the toys you have
given them there are still tons of toys that
your baby under one year will not only enjoy
but will also help with their hand-eye
coordination and motor skills.There are roughly four basic stages you
should consider when choosing toys that will
capture your baby’s interest and benefit
their growth. Some of those suggestions are
listed below:
Toys for newborns: During the first few
months before learning to grasp objects or
sit up on their own, your baby will enjoy
having things to look at and listen to. Your
baby’s vision will still be fuzzy at first
and focus will be limited to objects from
eight to fourteen inches from their face.
Babies are drawn to faces and can recognize
mom and dad’s faces at the age of one month.
Babies at this age thoroughly enjoy looking
at high contrast patterns and bright colors.
They will also appreciate sounds and music.
Objects that move around slowly and make
music such as mobiles will be of particular
interest.
A mobile can be a fascinating visual source
for a newborn baby. Choose mobiles with high
contrast colors and patterns that will be
the most interesting for your baby. Many
babies are especially fond of musical
mobiles so you definitely want to keep that
in mind when deciding on one for your baby.
Be sure to mount the mobile out of the
baby’s reach and either directly above or to
the right of the baby’s field of vision.
As mentioned previously, babies love music
so even a music box or a wind up musical toy
will be a great choice for your baby.
Another thing babies love is a mirror.
Babies are very attracted to faces and will
not realize that they are looking at their
own face in the mirror. Make sure that the
mirror is unbreakable and fasten it where
they can see themselves.
Plush toys that make noises are a favorite.
These toys will keep your baby’s attention
for a long time.
These are just some ideas to get you
started, I am sure you will find more.
