6-9 Months Cognitive Skills

During the 6-9 month stage, babies are becoming more interactive and are starting to develop a greater understanding of their surroundings. Age-appropriate toys can help stimulate their cognitive skills and encourage early development. Here are some examples of toys that are suitable for babies aged 6-9 months:

Shape sorters or stacking toys, which can help encourage problem-solving and fine motor skills.

Toys that promote cause and effect, such as toys that light up or make noise when pressed, can help promote an understanding of cause-and-effect relationships.

Books with simple stories and colorful pictures can help promote language development and recognition of basic concepts.

Interactive toys that respond to baby's actions, such as peek-a-boo toys or toys that play music when buttons are pressed, can help encourage exploration and experimentation.

Toys that encourage crawling or walking, such as push toys or toys with wheels, can help promote physical development and independence.


It's important to choose toys that are safe, age-appropriate, and engaging when selecting toys for your baby. Additionally, it's important to provide a variety of toys that cater to your baby's unique interests and development. By providing toys that promote cognitive development and exploration, you can help support your baby's growth and lay a strong foundation for its future development.
