Toys are integral to your baby's development. They ‘play’ a vital role in supporting your munchkin’s little wins as they take tiny steps towards all-around development. While they interact with these toys, with your use of motherese, your baby makes leaps and bounds in development.
From physical and cognitive growth to building their social-emotional skills, the significance of toy play is undisputed.
The term 'age-appropriate' here translates to 'recommended.' The age-appropriate toys are a guide for you to understand what your baby might need at a specific age.
It is crucial that you get an age-appropriate toy for your baby. As your little one grows, their needs change, and even the needed area of development changes.
While a newborn will be fascinated with a baby rattle, your infant might require a wooden teether, whereas a toddler might need a stacker toy. A newborn will not suddenly play with a wooden block but will enjoy interacting with baby dolls for kids.
That said, every baby is bound to have a distinct personality and might not prefer the same toy. If your baby does not prefer a dinosaur teether, that’s totally fine. If they don’t like a development product at all when they are supposed to, that is okay too. Let your baby find their interests and dislikes by themselves. These decisions are fundamentally necessary for their optimal growth. Make sure to show that those are significant to you too.
Babies love to engage in sensory play, and soft plush toys are a fantastic first toy for them to do so. Newborns do not need high-profile toys. They need a simple companion to hold onto as they experience the senses around them.
Through all this, plush toys stick around. They accompany your newborn through their toddler years, standing ground from when they start socially smiling to the time they zoom past you babbling for your attention. The best soft toys for babies can provide an ideal mix for boosting sensory skills and encouraging cognitive growth. Plushies are influential in shaping a child's imagination. It is through them that children gain a better understanding of the world as they begin to absorb information.
When choosing a toy for an infant, look for plush toys that are simple and safe. Safety is a huge criterion when picking a toy for babies. By the time they are five months old, they start putting things in their mouths. Since they have more control over their tongue than their hands and feet and let’s be real, all the pretty aesthetic toys you have accumulated will probably end up in your baby's mouth during playtime. So, the toys they interact with should be non-toxic, safe to chew on, and have no sharp edges.
BabyG has curated an amazing line-up that your baby will simply adore. Equipped with soft, plushy bodies and a heart full of love, this list has got it all:

As your baby grows, the plush toy will help introduce them to the little actions essential in their development. Babies learn from what they observe around them. Like changing, for instance.
