First, let's take a look at what the babies 6-12 months can do.
Between 6-9 months, your baby will be able to do more and more things that he could not do before.
- He will be able to sit alone for long periods of time which will give him a whole new perspective on the world.
- He will be able to crawl.
- He will be able to pick up and hold objects, which will allow him to be more involved in playing with you.
Between 9-12 months, your child will be more and more active. You will be pleased at how interested your baby is in playing with you.
- His attention span is also longer and he understands you more and more.
- He may even starting to walk or attempt to walk. Some parents get their babies a baby walker to aid this process. However, please beware of the controversial issues surrounding the use of a baby walker before purchasing it.
During this stage, you should, keep on talking to your baby. He will enjoy hearing your voice and begin to understand what you are saying months before he will be able to say any intelligible words.
The best baby developmental toys for this age group are the one which provide more active play. These baby toys should be able to be manipulated easily by grabbing, turning, poking, stacking, throwing, and dropping. They should also be appealing, so toys with primary color are still the best for this age.
Additionally, infant toys which provide the infant with opportunity to learn about cause and effect are a bonus.
Therefore, the developmental baby toys we recommend for this age group are:
- toys for stacking such as nesting cups, stacking rings , stacking blocks and baby building blocks.
- balls.
- shape sorter
- activity center toy
- stuffed animal
- doll
- baby picture books
- baby playmats.
In addition to these toys, your babies may still enjoy some of his old infant toys such as baby rattle or infant rattle and baby mirror.
