Toys for infants/toddlers?




emily


My son is currently 3 months old and we are cramped for space, so I want to make sure he enjoys the toys we get for him. What toys do your children love to play with? And does anyone know of a good crawling toy that will work on carpet aside from toys that throw balls everywhere (don't get me wrong, I already have two of them :]). I'm willing to buy toys beyond his age (up to three) if there a good chance he will one day love them. Also, what shows do your toddlers love? It doesn't seem like there are any good shows on tv anymore and I'm about to buy a ton of blues clues and little bear DVDs


Answer
Age-appropriate toys

With so many choices, shopping for just the right toy can be an overwhelming (and expensive) undertaking. Our guides will help you find age-appropriate toys that will bring joy to the babies and toddlers in your life. In each guide, we've included information about children's development, so you'll know why a toy makes sense at a particular age.

Pick the relevant age, and go:

Toys for birth to 3 months
Toys for 3 to 6 months
Toys for 6 to 9 months
Toys for 9 to 12 months
Toys for 12 to 18 months
Toys for 18 to 24 months
Toys for 24 to 30 months
Toys for 30 to 36 months
