Wooden Baby Toys

While at first it seems impossible that your baby will do anything but sleep, eat, and require 5 outfit changes a day, soon enough he’ll be grasping and batting at objects, then sitting up and holding thing. Y

ou’re going to need baby toys, and you’ll probably want to buy them before your baby arrives, or certainly soon thereafter.

Wooden baby toys make excellent toy choices because they are safe, durable, and will engage your baby’s developing skills and interests.

At about 5 months, babies start experimenting with holding things and moving them from hand to mouth, so a natural choice for this stage is a rattle. The gentle sounds rattles make are soothing and comforting.

Rattles are a traditional baby toy because they react to a baby’s movement. Your baby is starting to recognize his influence on his surroundings even at a few months old, and nothing satisfies that desire to affect change like a rattle.

ImagiPLAY makes rattles from managed forest beechwood, sanded to smoothness and finished with beeswax. These rattles in the bird, fish, elephant, or hedgehog designs make a perfect first wooden toy.

You won’t have to worry about these toys being recalled due to small parts or toxins; all are made with safe, baby-friendly, renewable resources.

When your baby can sit up and pass objects from hand to hand, he’ll want to manipulate toys that are interesting to him. Wooden toys are great choices, because your baby will also want to gnaw on everything he can grasp.
