What are Good Toys for the Physical Development of Infants?

Posted by the folks at Cow & Lizard on Oct 2nd 2015

A key are of your child's development is physical development.  We all celebrate these milestones starting from birth.  There are toys that are great for helping in this area as your child grows.

     Infants - 0 - 6 months

Toys for babies to focus on objects are a great starting place.  A baby mobile hung in the crib gives your infant something to look up and focus on.  The shapes, colors and sounds also stimulate your babies senses.  The Wimmer-Ferguson Infant Stim Mobile by Manhattan Toy is an award winning baby toy that is known for its bold black and white images.
