Newborns enter the world with a natural curiosity of their surroundings. They
love to study faces and are intrigued by lights and sounds. Surrounding your
infant with safe toys that stimulate her mind will provide a strong foundation
for healthy growth and development.
Babies spend most of their days eating and sleeping. A newborn will typically
sleep between 14 and 16 hours a day. Soft, soothing toys around the infant's
crib will provide hours of enjoyment. Mobiles are available in many styles and
colors. The spinning movement intrigues baby and the soft music soothes and
relaxes her.
Your infant can best focus on things that are 8 to 14 inches in front of her.
Bright, bold primary colors and high contrasting patterns in black and white are
most pleasing and stimulating to a newborn. Toys with movement and sound will
spark your baby's curiosity and keep her entertained. Infants can not grasp a
rattle to play on their own, but they love to watch you shake the toy. By about
2 months old, an infant will begin to bat at her favorite toys with her hands
and feet. Soon after, she will learn how to create sounds with toys by herself.
A baby’s enchantment with the human face is a normal part of newborn
development. Mirror toys, like the Baby Shakespeare Peek-A-Boo Mirror, will
quickly become an infant's favorite. Easy to push buttons create stimulating
sounds while your baby studies herself in the shatter-proof mirror.
Toys are an important part of childhood development. From birth, little ones are
quickly learning and growing though their play environment. Toys that use simple
buttons and knobs to create sound or light aid in an infant's cognitive
development. Logic and problem solving skills begin to emerge as your little one
learns to use her hands and feet to activate the toy. Activity centers and play
gyms can help in the development of large motor skills as well as cognitive
skills. Using her arms and legs, your baby can create enthralling music and
lights. Newborns can lie on their backs and play with the colorful pieces that
dangle above them as they explore new sounds and movements.
Books are also a vital part of development. Soft, fabric books and chunky board
books are perfect for newborns. Reading to your baby not only develops a
stronger bond between you and your child, it instills a love of books in your
baby that will grow with her. Infants enjoy books with pictures of other babies,
textured pages, and books that produce sounds.
Music is a favorite for children of all ages, especially newborns. Infants love
sounds and music is integrated into a number of the available toys. Music alone
can be just as fascinating to your baby. A small CD player is a great nursery
addition. Soft lullabies will lull a baby to sleep, while upbeat songs can be
enjoyed during playtime.
The best gift you can give your new baby is the gift of learning. Newborn toys
that stimulate with sights, sounds, and textures will soothe and entice your
baby as well as help her grow and develop.
