Baby toys: A guide & tips for the first months

Babies develop rapidly in their first months—and with each stage, their abilities change. The right baby toys can support your child in exploring, grasping, and learning.

Which baby toys are suitable for each age?

Baby toys support your child through important developmental milestones in the first months of life. Whether you’re looking for toys from birth or for 3, 6, or 9 months, it’s important to choose age-appropriate options that stimulate the senses and support motor skills. In our range, you’ll find a wide selection of baby toys for 0–12 months—from first grasp toys and play gyms to developmental toys. Discover the right toys for every stage and support your baby’s growth through play.

Baby toys from birth (0–3 months)

In the first weeks of life, your baby mainly responds to visual stimuli and sounds. They begin to focus on objects and develop their first movements. At this stage, your baby explores toys mostly together with you—you show, move, and encourage them to reach and grasp. Toys should therefore be simple, high-contrast, and easy to perceive.

  • Mobiles with gentle movement – ideal above the crib or changing table

  • Musical toys with soft melodies to soothe or help your baby fall asleep

  • Soft security blankets & plush toys provide comfort and offer first tactile experiences

  • First rattles & grasp toys for shared play and early attempts at grasping

Baby Toys from 3 Months (3–6 Months)

From around 3 months, your baby begins to reach more intentionally and responds more actively to their surroundings. They discover their hands, objects, and early cause-and-effect relationships. At this stage, toys that support motor skills and stimulate different senses are especially important:

  • Developmental toys with different materials and shapes (e.g. simple activity cubes or activity toys)

  • Rattles & grasp toys for early reaching and tactile exploration

  • Play gyms & activity mats for reaching, interacting, and kicking

  • Soft fabric books for visual and tactile stimulation

  • First musical toys to explore sounds and simple cause-and-effect relationships

  • Hanging toys or activity spirals for cribs, car seats, or play gyms—designed for grasping and exploration.

Baby Toys from 6 Months (6–9 Months)

At around 6 months, your baby becomes much more active: they reach intentionally, roll over, may already be sitting, and explore their surroundings more independently. Toys now become even more engaging - your baby starts experimenting, repeating movements, and actively discovering the world around them.

  • Balls & activity cubes for grasping, rolling, and crawling after.

  • Developmental toys with moving elements that encourage turning, pushing, and exploring.

  • Bath toys for playful variety during bath time.

Baby Toys from 9 Months (9–12 Months)

At around 9 months, your baby becomes increasingly active and starts to understand cause and effect: they drop objects, stack items, and experiment to see what happens. Many babies are now crawling and pulling themselves up. Toys can now offer more of a challenge, encourage interaction, and support early problem-solving skills:

  • Developmental toys with various play elements that allow turning, pressing, and experimenting

  • Balls that encourage throwing, rolling, and crawling after

  • First stacking toys & shape sorters that help your baby sort shapes and stack pieces

Every baby develops at their own pace - towards the end of this stage, many children already start showing interest in toys for toddlers age 1+.

Baby Toys Guide →

The best baby toys are age-appropriate and support your baby in exploring, grasping, and learning. In the first months, simple toys like mobiles, grasp toys, or play mats are ideal. Later on, toys that encourage experimenting, movement, and combining—such as balls or first shape sorters and stacking toys—become more important.

Your baby can start engaging with toys from birth. In the first weeks of life, visual stimuli and sounds are most important. As your baby grows, toys become increasingly important for supporting motor skills, sensory development, and early movements through play.

Suitable baby toys are well made, easy to hold in small hands, and simple to clean. Materials such as fabric, wood, or plastic offer different sensory experiences and can be used in a variety of ways.

Less is often more: your baby benefits from a small number of well-chosen toys that they can explore again and again. Too many stimuli at once can quickly become overwhelming. It’s better to rotate toys מדי to keep things interesting.

Baby toys that match the child’s current developmental stage and can be used in different ways make great gifts. Classics like grasp toys, play mats, or soft fabric books are always a good choice. For older babies, first shape sorters or stacking toys are also great options that can be used for longer.
