The rattle is one of the main toys for a newborn baby. He gets to know her carefully during the first twelve months of his life. Each age needs its own rattle. Some are suitable for young children who are only a few weeks old. Others are for larger toddlers who are already trying to distinguish objects.
In the first three months, rattles-pendants are bought for the baby. They are attached to the crib using a bracket. There is also a mobile carousel - these are several rattles, assembled into one structure, which spins, lights up, and music plays in it. It also attaches to the crib. This rattle helps develop vision, hearing and tactile abilities. She also develops hand coordination.
Most of the varieties of rattles on the handles. They come in a variety of shapes and sizes. The baby can hold such a rattle in his hands - at first not for long, then longer and longer. Thus, he develops grasping skills and skin sensations.
Double-sided rattles or mace rattles form a good grip on the baby's handles. On these toys, figures are located on both sides. You can consider two objects at once or each in turn, if you move it. It is more convenient for a baby to hold such a rattle than a rattle on a handle.
Rattles with moving parts will help develop the motor skills of all fingers of the child. For such toys, parts are attached to one ring and are small and large.
A spinning rattle is a variety of balls or balls that are inside a small ring. They develop the sense of touch. The kid can independently roll the ball. Playing with such a rattle, the baby tries to concentrate in order to spin the ball again. But this toy is not very convenient for a child to hold in his hands.
Ringing rattles take care of hearing acuity. With this toy, an adult plays with a baby. Parents attract the child's attention by ringing, creating sound in one or the other side of the baby. The child tries to focus on the sound and turns his head to the right and then to the left. A child can play alone with the same toy. At first he holds her carefully. Then, when he realizes that the toy rings from the movement, he begins to move his hands more strongly so that there is more ringing.
It is not recommended for the child to choose too bright or very loud rattles. They quickly tire the baby, or they bore him. It is very important that the colors on the toy are combined: warm with cold, and bright with white. If you choose the right colors, then the rattle will not irritate the child, it will develop the correct color perception and visual perception.
The rattle must be safe for the baby. Now such toys are sold in pharmacies: they are sterile and made of high quality materials. It is not scary if the baby decides to bite such a rattle.
