Developmental Toys

We understand the urge to purchase that cute fluffy soft animal in the shop window, the little bunny or teddy, and every child should have a few. However even from 0- 6 months you will need to purchase toys that will make sounds, have bright colours, shapes ec. and generally start to teach them all about the world around them.

Obviously they must be safe and soft and yet practical in purpose. You can buy such fun toys nowadays. This is a lovely time for both you and your little one. As they get older you can read to them, even though they won’t have a clue as to what you are saying, the very sound of your voice will be enough to soothe them and maybe later on they will try to read the words with you, perhaps when it is their favourite story.

When you are out with them in the buggy you can show them the trees and flowers and colours. Helping them up and down the stairs as you will be you can make it fun and count 1 – 2- 3 etc and in a short time you will find they can count upto 10.

It is amazing how fast they pick things up and learn, and you will feel a sense of pride when you realise that it is you that taught them these first precious things.
