best baby & toddler toys
Looking to make playtime loads of fun? We have an incredible selection of games and activities to spark your child's imagination! Read on for baby toys that are must-haves for newborns through toddler age.
0-3 months
Watch their little faces light up with toys in big, bold geometric shapes and contrasting colors. They're sure to get a kick out of playthings—from mobiles to wrist rattles—that make interesting sounds and eye-catching movements, too.
3-6 months
At this stage, your tiny tot is likely more mobile and ready to grasp objects. Stock up on plush stuffed animals from Gund, First Impressions and more for a nursery menagerie that's perfect for cuddling. Plus, play mats and bouncers that feature pieces for baby to reach for, squeeze, pull and shake. Be sure to read safety warnings for any choking hazards.
6-9 months
As baby begins to sit, stand and even crawl, they'll love to spend playtime refining their motor skills. Keep them occupied for hours with blocks, balls and activity centers from baby brands that encourage them to move around.
9-12 months
Now baby is raring to be on the go! Since your little one wants to walk or crawl, encourage them to explore their expanding world with push toys to help steady their steps. Plus, educational toys like puzzles from brands such as Melissa and Doug will teach them about animals, numbers and the alphabet.
12-18 months
Keep your toddler engaged with playthings they won't want to put down. Help them improve hand-eye coordination and show their creative side with coloring books. Balance their seemingly boundless energy with ride-on toys and climbing gyms for added fun!
18-24 months
Let the good times roll as your tiny tot's imagination blossoms. Foster their interest in make-believe and role-playing with detailed dollhouses and dolls in gorgeous outfits. And if your child loves gadgets, help develop their mind with math & language games, musical toys and more. Keep them smiling while they learn.
