When you choose baby toys and activities that enhance your child’s development, you’re speaking your baby’s language and helping him foster cognitive and social skills he can build on. When buying baby toys, look for the manufacturer’s recommended age range such as the Baby TV. Cheap, poorly constructed toys are no bargain. Used toys, especially solid, moulded-plastic ones, can be a great buy. Thrift stores, consignment shops, and yard and garage sales often have baby u in excellent condition. But carefully check every toy to see that it’s well made and safe, and wash it before giving it to your child. Plastic Baby toys, the kind sometimes sold in drugstores, airports, and stores often have dangerous sharp edges or small parts that can break off easily. Babies experience much of their world through sucking, so expect that most toys will go straight to their mouths.
