How to choose the right early learning toys by age
Children enter different stages of development as they grow up, so it’s important to find the right tools for each age group. Our range of toys is designed to promote different skills at the best possible stage of your child’s development.
Here’s how to choose the right toy for your child as they grow up.
Toys for Infants (0-4 Months)
Sensory toys with different textures, sounds and contrasting colours are perfect for newborns. Rattles and musical mobiles stimulate tactile, auditory and visual development, laying the foundation for future learning.
Toys for Infants (4-6 Months)
Infants start reaching and grasping as they grow. Soft squeeze toys, textured teethers and peek-a-boo toys enhance their fine motor skills and introduce the concept of cause and effect.
Toys for Infants (6-9 Months)
Babies at this stage are more mobile and curious. Toys like baby blocks and rolling toys encourage crawling, while busy boxes and simple puzzles develop problem-solving skills.
Toys for Infants (9-12 Months)
Sensory balls and container toys are great for honing gross and fine motor skills. They also help your child understand spatial relationships and improve hand-eye coordination.
Toys for Toddlers (12–15 Months and 24 Months to 3+ Years)
For toddlers, the focus shifts to more complex skills. Stackable cubes, puzzles and cause-and-effect toys promote cognitive development, language skills and physical coordination.
