Shopping for babies, especially those that aren’t very mobile yet, can be difficult! Around six months of age, babies may begin to babble and play, and show curiosity to their surroundings! Around 12 months, your baby may be able to stand or walk, wave and giggle.
Here are some great gift ideas for babies between 6 months and 12 months old.
Musical Toys
Musical Instruments have amazing benefits for your child’s development! They promote creativity, boost cognitive skills, and encourage self-expression!
Teething Toys
Babies start teething around 6 months, so parents will be thankful to have some teether toys around when it begins! We love silicone teethers for their softness and material safety.
Baby Walker
Walkers are sturdy toys that are useful to have even before baby can walk! They can sit and explore the different modes of play typically included on a walker toy, and use it to help themselves stand up and maybe even take their first steps!
Stacking Toys
Brightly colored stacking cups are a hit with babies and toddlers alike as they can facilitate motor skills such as grasping, provide entertainment with bright colors, and foster imaginative play as they stack them up and knock them over!
Play Mats
Floor time is so important for babies! They get to work out those muscles and work on skills such as sitting up on their own, pushing up on hands and knees, and exploring the world from new angles! Play mats with some carefully selected toys is great fun for curious babies and provide a soft and dirt-free environment for your little ones.
Sensory Toys
Toys that baby can grasp and have a reaction on are great for them to learn cause and effect. They’ll delight in knowing their actions such as shaking can cause a sound or movement.
Baby Swing
Once your child is able to sit up on their own, it’s safe to use a baby swing either indoor or outdoors!
