Haven’t baby toys come a long way since you were a kid? Modern baby toys are bright and engaging, teaching babies through the various elements that are each designed with a purpose. Well, at least that’s our approach at Mother’s Choice. We know how important play is for babies and how curious minds are developing through every interaction. The role of infant toys is vital in this development.
Many parents are choosing to use the latest gadgets, such as phones and iPads, to entertain their baby with videos, games and more - and this is totally okay! Technological advances have given parents even more options to stimulate, entertain and help their child develop. However, there are also benefits in traditional baby toys, such as puzzles, stacking games and mobiles, that encourage interaction, heighten the senses and help develop fine motor skills. Having a selection of different newborn baby toys on hand can ensure your baby has all the tools they need to learn.
As babies grow and start to engage more with the world around them, the opportunities for play and introducing baby toys also increases. Baby toys are handy particularly when you are doing tummy time with baby and when you are out and about. As your baby gets older and they are looking for more stimulation from toys, your haul of baby toys will grow with them!
While you are out and about, stroller arches and stroller toys can really help keep baby happy while you go about your day. Often babies will want to stay close to their parents but attaching some baby toys or an arch to the stroller will give them something bright to look at, to start grasping for and keep them happy and alert.
At tummy time, a play mat will keep baby comfortable and safe while they practice building their neck strength and interaction with the world around them. Baby toys scattered around the play mat also give them something to search for encouraging them to look beyond mum or dad and start reaching for objects.
At Mother’s Choice we have a range of baby toys including developmental toys, stroller arches, stroller toys, play mats and cot mobiles that encourage development and celebrate the joy and magic of babies.
