👶 Parenting Tips: Choosing the Right Toys for Your Baby’s First Year
Your baby’s first year is full of exciting changes—and choosing the right toys can help support their development every step of the way. At Babisco, we know the joy (and the challenge) of picking safe, fun, and age-appropriate toys for your little one. Here’s a simple guide to help you make confident choices during this important stage.
🍼 0–3 Months: Sensory Discovery
At this stage, babies are just beginning to explore the world. Look for soft, high-contrast toys like plush rattles or black-and-white cards to stimulate their vision and hearing. Gentle textures and sounds help develop sensory awareness.
Babisco Tip: Our soft rattles and crinkle toys are perfect for tummy time and visual tracking!
🧸 3–6 Months: Grasp and Giggle
Babies are learning to grab and hold. Choose lightweight toys with different textures and easy-to-grasp shapes. Toys that squeak or jingle encourage cause-and-effect learning and make playtime more engaging.
Babisco Tip: Try our teething-friendly toys that soothe gums while building motor skills.
🪆 6–9 Months: Sit and Explore
Now your baby is sitting up and exploring more actively. Offer stacking toys, activity cubes, and musical toys to encourage hand-eye coordination and exploration.
Babisco Tip: Our activity balls and sensory blocks provide endless exploration—and giggles.
🚼 9–12 Months: Move and Mimic
Your baby is on the move! Push-pull toys, soft dolls, and role-play items help build coordination and imagination. This is a great time to introduce toys that encourage movement and mimicry.

Final Thoughts
Every baby develops at their own pace, but having the right toys can turn every milestone into a magical moment. Focus on safety, age-appropriateness, and sensory stimulation—and trust your instincts as a parent.
