0-2 Months

Newborn babies are just beginning to explore their senses and the world around them, making this a critical time for early development. Age-appropriate toys can help encourage early development in babies aged 0-2 months. Here are some examples:

Soft toys with different textures and shapes can be used for tactile exploration and sensory development, which also encourage reaching and grasping.

Toys play soothing sounds or music to help babies relax and promote early auditory development, which can also encourage movement and physical activity.

Mobiles or crib toys provide visual stimulation and encourage tracking and reaching, which helps develop hand-eye coordination.

High-contrast black-and-white toys or books can help stimulate and develop visual skills.

Plush animals or dolls that babies can hold and cuddle, which promote comfort and provide opportunities for tactile exploration.

Teethers or toys are designed for mouthing, can help soothe sore gums and promote oral development.


When selecting toys for your newborn, it's important to choose toys that are safe, age-appropriate, and engaging. You should also consider your baby's individual needs and preferences, as well as their unique rate of development. By providing a variety of age-appropriate toys that promote early development, you can help support your baby's physical, cognitive, social, and emotional growth during this important stage.
