Your baby can use this toy to taste with his/her mouth, grasp with their hands, shake and hear the rattling sound. It's a great Montessori type experience for motor skills and sensorial development.
I'm getting a good chuckle from 97 Ways to Make a Baby Laugh! Babies have such a good sense of humor. Everything is fun for them, even throwing food on the floor! This book has great new ideas and well as tried and true ways to laugh with your baby.
Putting plastic chips in a piggy bank is a fun activity for 6 month old babies to toddlers. It helps build concentration skills, small motor skills, and a sense of order.
This piggy bank has great reviews from parents.
You can count and teach colors with older toddlers with this toy.
If I could choose between a rectangular crib and round crib, I think the round crib would be much more interesting. You could move around and see at every angle-360 all around the room.
This baby rattle is made from real wood and tinkle bells. It's beauty would keep my attention!
The handle is a great exercise for grasping. Your baby can develope finer motor skills by feeling the bell between the dowels. This is a very Montessori toy in that it is made from natural maple wood and encourages sensorial learning using sight, touch and sound.
