Developmental toys, why do you need them

Here are some questions you should think about:

1

Why are developmental toys so important?

The significance of developmental toys is paramount; the way in which babies interact with toys often facilitates the growth of gross motor skills, coordination, cognitive development, and the senses. These brightly coloured, sound-inducing, textured toys create engaging experiences for your baby to expand their understanding of the world around them and the movements they’re capable of.

2

What makes Tiny Love special?

Tiny Love was carefully fashioned with the seven Developmental Wonders in mind – a comprehensive set of guidelines for baby development including: Cognition, Language & Communication, Fine Motor Skills, Senses, Gross Motor Skills, Imagination & Creativity, Emotional Intelligence. Our continued collaboration with specialists in various fields translates into the developmental expertise of the toys we create.

3

Age appropriate toys for babies.

Toys vary in their suitability for children depending on their age and where they are in their own developmental journey. For babies, play and toys are all about interacting with you or their immediate surrounding – they delight in observing your face or listening to your voice. Which is why brightly coloured mobiles, rattles or wind-up musical toys are great for them.

4

What is a Gymini?

A gymini is a baby playmat designed to be used from birth. The contrasting, colours, textures and sounds stimulate baby’s senses from day one. This will be your baby’s first toy from day one that they grow to use in different ways during the first year.

Haven’t baby toys come a long way since you were a kid? Modern baby toys are bright and engaging, teaching babies through the various elements that are each designed with a purpose. Well, at least that’s our approach at Mother’s Choice. We know how important play is for babies and how curious minds are developing through every interaction. The role of infant toys is vital in this development.

Many parents are choosing to use the latest gadgets, such as phones and iPads, to entertain their baby with videos, games and more - and this is totally okay! Technological advances have given parents even more options to stimulate, entertain and help their child develop. However, there are also benefits in traditional baby toys, such as puzzles, stacking games and mobiles, that encourage interaction, heighten the senses and help develop fine motor skills. Having a selection of different newborn baby toys on hand can ensure your baby has all the tools they need to learn.

As babies grow and start to engage more with the world around them, the opportunities for play and introducing baby toys also increases. Baby toys are handy particularly when you are doing tummy time with baby and when you are out and about. As your baby gets older and they are looking for more stimulation from toys, your haul of baby toys will grow with them!

While you are out and about, stroller arches and stroller toys can really help keep baby happy while you go about your day. Often babies will want to stay close to their parents but attaching some baby toys or an arch to the stroller will give them something bright to look at, to start grasping for and keep them happy and alert.

At tummy time, a play mat will keep baby comfortable and safe while they practice building their neck strength and interaction with the world around them. Baby toys scattered around the play mat also give them something to search for encouraging them to look beyond mum or dad and start reaching for objects.

At Mother’s Choice we have a range of baby toys including developmental toys, stroller arches, stroller toys, play mats and cot mobiles that encourage development and celebrate the joy and magic of babies.
