It is very important that you make selection of toys for your baby according to his age and abilities. Remember that toys that are too advanced for him will not only irritate him but may also hurt him.

For a child under one year of age, toys should be large, simple and brightly colored, black or white and light weighted. In Addition they should not have any small parts that the baby could remove. Squeak toys with noisemakers moulded in; sturdy, nonflammable rattles, washable dolls and stuffed animals with embroidered features; and teethers and other smooth items that can be chewed are some nice toys for small babies.

The list of some toys along with children age group are mentioned below that can help you in making the best toy selection for your baby.

For a baby under 2 months old

• A mobile that looks interesting from underneath, which is where the baby will be. Remove the mobile from the crib when the baby is able to pull it down.
• Pictures or decals to decorate the walls of his room.

For a baby 2 to 4 months old
• A cradle gym
• A stainless steel mirror that can be placed about 6 inches from the baby’s eyes.

For a baby 4 to 6 months

• Stuffed animals

For a baby 6 to 8 months old

• A box filled with simple objects that the baby can take out and put back

For a baby 8 to 12 months old
