Hi, my name is Windy St. George, and this is how to choose developmental toys for your
child. They make a wide range of developmental toys that are often bright, either bright
colors or highly contrasting colors such as black and white with swirls and geometrical
patterns. This has been shown to increase babies awareness of shapes and his surroundings.
It's good to get the toys that have different textures and feels, make different sounds,
things that would react when he does something to them. Something as simple as a rattle can
fulfill this. Really for a child to learn and develop correctly, he just needs a lot
of attention and love, he doesn't need too many fancy toys. You can try to get used ones
on eBay or through garage sales, or through parent groups, if you know someone who has
a child who's older than your child. But really you just need to get some simple things like
blocks, balls, things with different textures, and things that make different noises when
the baby does different things so he ca react to different stimuli. It's also good to have
a mobile that has different bright colors or contrasting colors to catch his attention
and cause him to look beyond his initial three foot gaze.
