Toy Selection

Your baby is in heaven if it is in midst of toys. The wealth of baby is its toys and dolls. Toys play a crucial role in making your baby and hence yourself happy. However if the toys are improperly selected they might injure you baby and significantly cause physical harm to your baby. Hence careful attention must be paid in selecting the toys to your baby. Here are the following useful hints about toy selection.

Once one of the parents who used to drop his baby in my crèche asked me what is the suitable toy for my baby. I simply replied, what is your baby’s interest? If your baby pays keen attention to music then musical toys are best suited for your baby, if your baby in interested in moving objects then moving and rolling toys can make your baby happy. Likewise one has to select the toys based on the baby’s interest. Babies, who are attracted towards glittering light, get delighted with toys which emit light.

Each and every passing day babies try to discover something. Apart from happiness if you select your toys so that the babies learn something from the toys, they will be clearly attracted towards the toys. Don’t try to buy same type of monotonous toys again and again which is not creative for the baby.

I have heard from number of parents who regularly leave their children in my crèche, about the sad stories which toys usually create. Once a baby swallowed an iron piece from a doll which left unnoticed caused septic in the inner part of the mouth. So care must be taken in selecting toys. Whenever selecting a toy the first information which the parents must look through is, the age group of baby/child to which the toy is suitable. This information will be written on the toy. Also ensure that the toy doesn’t contain sharp edges and unwanted chemical coatings which might be allergic to your baby.

Select your toys such that it is big enough and will not fit into babies mouth. For the same reason magnetic toys are not preferred. Magnets tend to fall and are small enough that babies might swallow it. Toys must be of less weight, as I have seen in my crèche babies harm themselves by dropping heavy toys on their legs. Make sure that the toy is new enough. Old toys seem to have developed rust in them which baby skin will not be ready to accept. Select proper and appropriate toys for your baby enjoy seeing your baby enjoying the toys.
