AGE APPROPRIATE TOYS - newborn to 6 months of age

madchanny by madchanny Talking Back(January 2007) (rank 31st)
Hi, toys these days are being made to stimulate newborns, encouraging them to take that next step and reach out for what they have been looking at, encouraging them to kick, laugh and babble! here is the list of a few great things which can be ideal for a newborn just
for these reasons, i have also taken the time to give you the information about what the toy does, price, and why it is great for baby!
happy reading!

Magic Moments™ Learning Seat
PRICE- US $49.95, AU $79.95
appropriate For Ages Birth and up
This is a comfy little seat with a detachable magic moments mirror bar, the mirror reveals bright lights and images when the little hanging animals are kicked an touched, baby is introduced to learning songs, words and classical music that promote early language and future reading development, while encouraging motor skill development and having fun with exploration! There are three modes (SONGS & RHYMES, WORD PLAY, CLASSICAL MUSIC) and also the vibration feature to help sooth baby to sleep.

FISHER PRICE PEEK A BOO PIANO
PRICE- AU $60
appropriate for ages birth and up
with 2 modes (cot mode and floor mode), this toy is sure to keep babies little arms and legs moving. This piano stimulates baby by playing sounds and music when the keys are pressed or kicked. Therefore a great distraction for 'tummy time' (which alot of babies do not like), and nappy change time!

THE FIRST YEARS POOH SLEEPY WONDERLAND COT LIGHT
PRICE AU- $50
appropriate for ages birth and up
This toy projects dreamy, rotating images onto the ceiling, great for settling sleep. It has 4 audio settings and plays for 10 minutes before dimming the light and slowly muting the music. It attaches to the cot and stands upright. The light shows a cloud display with soft soothing images of Pooh and his friends on the ceiling. Plays the "Winnie the Pooh" song and classical music, also calming nature sounds too!

WINNIE THE POOH CUDDLE AND SNUGGLE GYM
PRICE- AU $119.95
For ages 3 months and over.
Pooh, Tigger and Lumpy come together to make this soft gym with hanging toys. The three friends are detatchable and  can be used separately as baby grows, separated, pooh is a lovable baby blanket,  tigger and lumpy are soft toys. Whats bet about this toy is that you never have to pack it away until the next baby is born!

hope you like this article as there are more to come, keep an eye out!

Oh I love Fisher Price! Their toys are long lasting, the age group is on the front and it was always suited to the age of my boys!
Great bit of advice there with some great toys (some of which I used) :)

Excellent toys for babies that age

I love that winnie the pooh cuddle and snuggle gym!! I have seen those around and I keep seeing them on comericals so they must be good.. I wanted to buy it but my daughter is a little older now but I'm sure she'd still love to play with it!! Same with the light, they are great, they even play sounds too!! There's another one that my daughter has and fish and other sea creatures swim around when its turned on and they can play with it too!!

Great advice and they are excellent toys for babies that age!!
