Toys for babies: 0-1 year

Toys for babies: Toys for the first time

Your child quickly becomes interested in the world around them and the objects they can grab. They especially like things with bright colors, sounds, and movements. When looking for toys for your baby, it is primarily about finding a suitable product that fits their development and how they play. Typically, their first instinct is to bite or suck on the toy, or at least test its durability when they wave the toy around vigorously, and usually the surface gets its own test. 

There are strict requirements for baby toys. At HOME-TEX you can find a world of exciting toys for your baby that contribute to your child's development and stimulate senses, gross motor skills, fine motor skills, and creativity. Additionally, we also have very beloved toys that provide comfort and care when you are not able to be there. 

Which baby toys suit your baby's age?

A lot happens during your child's first year of life. And toys are replaced several times in a short period. It is also important to choose toys that match your child's age and current skills. However, they should also support further development. Therefore, it is important to continuously give your baby new challenges and teach them new skills. And there is no better way to learn than through play. 

If you are unsure which baby toys best suit your child's age, we provide inspiration and recommendations for toys by age:

• 0-3 months: As newborns, babies lie a lot on their backs and slowly train to lie on their stomachs and lift their heads. They are especially interested in sounds and interactions. In this regard, activity mats, mobiles, and stuffed animals can be good toy choices.

• 3-6 months: Small babies begin to grasp toys and other objects and experiment with sounds and reactions to actions. Toys such as sensory balls, toys with interactive sounds, and similar are ideal. And expect the toys to be thoroughly chewed on.

• 6-9 months: As a bigger baby, your child begins to sit and gradually crawl and play more independently. At this age, toys can include music books, shape sorters, balls, activity stations, and much more.

• 9-12 months: When your child becomes a toddler, there is full speed ahead – either crawling or possibly starting to walk. A push walker is a sure hit here, helping your child train walking and balance on two legs. Stacking blocks are also another great toy that provides endless fun.

Play with shapes and blocks

Toy blocks, whether stacking blocks, building blocks, or shape sorters, are a great way for your child to stimulate creativity, train motor skills, and learn about different shapes. Here on the page, you will find a selection of baby toys for the little ones that introduce them to the unlimited fun that toy blocks provide. 

Get the music going with rhythmic toys for babies

Most babies and toddlers love music and rhythm, whether you play their favorite songs, play instruments, or sing a little song for them. With our selection of musical toys for babies, your child can take control of the show, whether flipping through the rhyme book, playing their favorite children's song in the music book, or creating their own little band with microphone, instruments, and rhythms.
