Best Toys and Gifts to Support Baby’s Development from 0-6 Months
Playtime is essential to your baby’s development, here are our favorite toys for learning and fun.
Playtime isn’t just about fun—it’s essential for your baby’s growth and development. The right toys not only entertain but also support your infant’s early milestones. From stimulating their senses to building their motor skills, baby development toys play a crucial role in this exciting stage of life.

 
Although it may seem like your newborn spends most of their time sleeping, eating, and crying, there’s a lot more happening beneath the surface. Their brain is developing at an extraordinary pace  , and the interactions they have with their environment—especially through play—help shape their future abilities. Providing a safe play space and introducing age-appropriate infant toys can encourage exploration, build strength, and foster learning.

Here’s our guide to the best toys for newborns and young babies, including recommendations for small toys for babies, great toys for newborns, and the best toys for 6-month-old babies.

Best Toys for Tummy Time


Tummy time is a foundational activity for babies between 0-2 months. It strengthens their neck, core, and arm muscles, preparing them for milestones like rolling and crawling. While some babies may resist tummy time initially, having the right toys can make the experience more enjoyable and engaging.

 
Activity gyms are an excellent choice, providing a soft, safe surface for exploration. Look for gyms with crib toys   and    your baby’s attention. Mirrors are particularly effective at encouraging visual tracking and self-recognition. Pairing tummy time with small toys for babies, such as textured balls or crinkle fabric items, adds an extra layer of sensory stimulation.

Best Toys for Hand-Eye Coordination


Around 2-4 months, your baby will discover their hands and begin experimenting with reaching, grasping, and shaking. This is a perfect time to introduce toys that develop hand-eye coordination and fine motor skills. Toys with bright colors, high-contrast patterns , and engaging textures are ideal for this stage.

Consider rattles, teething rings, and soft grab toys that are easy for little hands to hold. These items not only encourage movement but also support depth perception as babies learn to reach for and manipulate objects. Many of these baby development toys double as teething aids, offering soothing relief during this exploratory phase.

Best Soft Books for Babies


Reading to your baby may seem premature, but it’s never too early to start building language skills. Soft books   are great toys for newborns and infants, as they’re lightweight, chewable, and durable. These books introduce early vocabulary and offer sensory stimulation through textures, crinkly pages, and vivid imagery.

 
Choose books with simple illustrations, bold colors, and engaging themes like animals or everyday objects. These features captivate your baby’s developing vision and encourage interaction. Plus, incorporating reading into your daily routine establishes a strong foundation for lifelong learning.
