Rattles, textured toys, musical toys, and mobiles are all fun and easy for <span class=\"pronoun-them\" data-pronoun=\"them\">them<\/span> to play with at a young age. Just make sure that the toys don\u2019t contain small pieces that could find their way into somewhere they shouldn&#8217;t be, don&#8217;t have strings that <span class=\"pronoun-baby\" data-pronoun=\"baby\">Baby<\/span> could get tangled in, don&#8217;t end up in the crib, and are safe for <span class=\"pronoun-their\" data-pronoun=\"their\">their<\/span> age group. Many toys come with guidelines for the ages where they&#8217;re appropriate.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"resource-content\">\n<div class=\"row-fluid\">\n<p>At first, <span class=\"pronoun-baby\" data-pronoun=\"baby\">Baby<\/span>\u2019s sight will not be fully developed and <span class=\"pronoun-they\" data-pronoun=\"they\">they will<\/span> only able to see 8 to 12 inches in front of <span class=\"pronoun-them\" data-pronoun=\"them\">them<\/span>. As a result, contrasting colors and patterns will best stimulate <span class=\"pronoun-their\" data-pronoun=\"their\">their<\/span> vision in the first month. Crib mobiles are the ideal toy during <span class=\"pronoun-baby\" data-pronoun=\"baby\">Baby<\/span>\u2019s newborn period because they can be brightly colored, patterned, moved without touch, and musically stimulative. If <span class=\"pronoun-baby\" data-pronoun=\"baby\">Baby<\/span> doesn&#8217;t seem interested in any toys right away, give <span class=\"pronoun-them\" data-pronoun=\"them\">them<\/span> a little time &#8211; as <span class=\"pronoun-they\" data-pronoun=\"they\">they grows<\/span> a little bit more alert, <span class=\"pronoun-their\" data-pronoun=\"their\">their<\/span> interest in the world around <span class=\"pronoun-them\" data-pronoun=\"them\">them<\/span> will grow with <span class=\"pronoun-them\" data-pronoun=\"them\">them<\/span>.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Mobiles:<\/strong> The best mobiles for a newborn come in strongly contrasting colors, since <span class=\"pronoun-baby\" data-pronoun=\"baby\">Baby<\/span> is still developing <span class=\"pronoun-their\" data-pronoun=\"their\">their<\/span> eyesight. Black and white are actually ideal for those first days and weeks, but <span class=\"pronoun-baby\" data-pronoun=\"baby\">Baby<\/span> will also see red and darker colors quickly, so if you feel like black and white is a little bleak for the nursery, a brightly colored mobile will keep <span class=\"pronoun-baby\" data-pronoun=\"baby\">Baby<\/span> happy just as easily, and maybe for longer. Mobiles that make noise can be a big hit with their littlest fans, and mobiles that move can hold their interest for quite a while. Most mobiles have to conform to specific safety guidelines about the size of the toys that dangle from them, and the length of the strings, but hand-made mobiles don&#8217;t always follow the same standards. That&#8217;s no reason not to get that one beautiful, one-of-a-kind mobile from Etsy, but it&#8217;s definitely a good idea to make sure it meets safety standards before introducing it to <span class=\"pronoun-baby\" data-pronoun=\"baby\">Baby<\/span>. All mobiles should be securely fastened, since they can cause harm if they fall into the crib, and should be taken down once <span class=\"pronoun-baby\" data-pronoun=\"baby\">Baby<\/span> grows big enough and coordinated enough to reach out for them, usually around 5 months, or whenever <span class=\"pronoun-they\" data-pronoun=\"they\">they starts<\/span> sitting up on <span class=\"pronoun-their\" data-pronoun=\"their\">their<\/span> own.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Rattles:<\/strong> Rattles are a pretty broad category, since it seems like half the baby toys on the market have some kind of rattle attached. That&#8217;s because babies really do love toys that make noise, though, especially when they&#8217;re young and are still developing their eyesight. The ideal first rattles in <span class=\"pronoun-baby\" data-pronoun=\"baby\">Baby<\/span>&#8216;s life are small enough that <span class=\"pronoun-they\" data-pronoun=\"they\">they can<\/span> easily grasp them, and probably decorated in the contrasting colors and geometric shapes that <span class=\"pronoun-they\" data-pronoun=\"they\">they is<\/span> so attracted to. Toys in ball shapes have a good chance of still being something <span class=\"pronoun-baby\" data-pronoun=\"baby\">Baby<\/span> is interested in as <span class=\"pronoun-they\" data-pronoun=\"they\">they gets<\/span> older, but definitely aren&#8217;t a requirement. Rattles with interesting textures will probably end up doubling as teething toys, and <span class=\"pronoun-baby\" data-pronoun=\"baby\">Baby<\/span> always needs more of those, so texture is definitely something to look out for.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Gyms:<\/strong> Baby gyms aren&#8217;t exactly like the adult version, but they do both provide the chance to develop physical skills in a stimulating environment, and they <em>can<\/em> both happen in your living room, although <span class=\"pronoun-baby\" data-pronoun=\"baby\">Baby<\/span>&#8216;s will definitely fit there a lot more comfortably than yours would. Baby gyms can keep babies happy for hours, and can come already stocked with all of <span class=\"pronoun-baby\" data-pronoun=\"baby\">Baby<\/span>&#8216;s favorite things &#8211; brightly contrasting colors, things that rattle, things that move when <span class=\"pronoun-they\" data-pronoun=\"they\">they hits<\/span> them, and an unbreakable mirror so <span class=\"pronoun-they\" data-pronoun=\"they\">they can<\/span> grin up at <span class=\"pronoun-their\" data-pronoun=\"their\">their<\/span> own face to <span class=\"pronoun-their\" data-pronoun=\"their\">their<\/span> heart&#8217;s content.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Newborns and toys don\u2019t always go hand-in-hand, but by the time <span class=\"pronoun-they\" data-pronoun=\"they\">they is<\/span> a few months old, <span class=\"pronoun-their\" data-pronoun=\"their\">their<\/span> fine motor skills and vision might be developed enough to actually start having fun with <span class=\"pronoun-their\" data-pronoun=\"their\">their<\/span> toys, instead of just touching them before pooping and crying.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<h5>Sources<\/h5>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Danette Glassy, Judith Romano, Committee on Early Childhood, Adoption, and Dependent Care. \u201cSelecting Appropriate Toys for Young Children: The Pediatrician\u2019s Role.\u201d <\/span><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pediatrics<\/span><\/em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. 111(4).
