A newborn baby, that is, a child up to one month old, is just getting used to new conditions of existence. Adapting to the environment, he begins to actively explore the world around him, and the first toys are the best helpers in this.
Instructions
Step 1
Do not try to choose the most colorful of all toys for little ones. In the first months of life, the child's color sensation is still poorly formed, therefore, a large number of bright or variegated details will not add up to his understanding into a complete picture. Instead, opt for a simple toy painted in two contrasting colors.
Step 2
Check the toy for safety. Parts or threads should not be separated from it, because everything that a child sees in front of him at this age, he will definitely taste. In addition, try to choose toys for newborns from well-known manufacturers, world-renowned firms have high demands on plastics, fabrics and fillers that are used in the manufacture of products.
Step 3
Follow the manufacturer's advice on the packaging. Symbols and numbers will help you navigate whether this toy is suitable for a baby of a particular age, or whether it is too early to hand it over to the child.
Step 4
Choose a toy based on the actual capabilities of the child. At the age of one month, the baby will not yet be able to press buttons on a toy or find a match between the size and shape of parts. At this time, it is better to give him something that is convenient to grab with clumsy fingers. The ideal option would be a regular rattle or a soft bracelet to which a funny face or detail is sewn. It is important that when moving the toy makes a sound, this will help develop the crumbs' attentiveness, its auditory sensations and the grasping reflex, because at first it instinctively, and then consciously, will reach for the ringing object with its hands.
Step 5
Take a look at modern educational toys made from mixed soft fabrics such as fleece, woven fabric and faux fur. Different to the touch, they allow you to develop tactile sensations and fine motor skills of the child. In addition, rustling cellophane elements may be sewn into some parts.
