Best Baby ToysSome important things to remember when choosing the best baby toys are that they need to be soft, easy to grasp, lightweight, non-flammable, nontoxic, washable and shatterproof. Sounds like a difficult list to take into account, but don't stress, the toy manufacturers all know the importance of these points and so most toys will be fine. Remember too, many children get very attached to their favourite toy so it can sometimes be good not to get something that is so unique it’s irreplaceable! When choosing a toy you also need to keep in mind that the choice will be different for different age groups. In the first six months of life toys will be used to develop more gross motor control, this means waving the whole arm or leg about and holding things between both hands rather than with individual fingers. As the baby's nervous system develops their fine motor control improves making it easier for them to grasp smaller objects or use toys that require more coordination. Check out these dedicated pages for different age groups so you can choose the most appropriate gifts for the baby you're buying for.
