Toys for Baby (0-12 months)

In the first year, play is all about the senses: reaching, grasping, mouthing, and discovering cause and effect. Good baby toys use natural, mouth-safe materials, simple shapes, and enough contrast to hold a young child's attention. Always supervise play and follow the manufacturer's age guidance.
