Baby Gift Guide: Early Infant (4-6 Months)
As babies become more active, they begin to develop motor skills and enjoy exploring their environment with their hands and mouth. Toys should encourage reaching, grasping, and moving.
- Teething Toys: Soft, chewable toys that soothe gums as the baby begins teething.
- Activity Centers: These are typically stations with a variety of toys like buttons, mirrors, and rattles that encourage reaching and grabbing while the baby is seated.
- Textured Balls: Soft, squeezable balls that encourage reaching, grasping, and rolling.
- Soft Blocks: Light, easy-to-grasp blocks made from fabric or soft plastic encourage fine motor development and stacking (when baby is ready).
- Interactive Books: Books with flaps to open, textures to touch, or simple interactive features engage a baby’s growing curiosity.
