1. What should I look for in toys for 0-12 months?

When choosing toys for 0-12 months, safety is the number one priority. Make sure the toys are free of small parts that could be choking hazards and are made from BPA-free, non-toxic materials that are safe for babies to explore with their mouths. Durability is also essential, as babies tend to chew, grab, and throw their toys. Look for soft, but sturdy materials that can withstand this kind of play. Developmentally, you want toys that encourage sensory engagement. Bright colors, soft textures, or toys that make gentle sounds can stimulate your baby’s senses. Simple toys like rattles, teething rings, or soft blocks are ideal, as they encourage babies to practice their grasping and reaching skills, which are important for motor development. Activity gyms with hanging toys are also perfect for tummy time, helping babies build muscle strength as they kick and stretch toward the toys.

2. Are there infant toys that can help with teething?

Yes, Kido Bébé’s collection includes infant toys specifically designed to help with teething. These toys are made from non-toxic, BPA-free materials, ensuring they are safe for your baby to put in their mouth. Teething toys are designed with different textures and shapes that gently massage sore gums, providing relief to teething infants. Many teething toys also have easy-to-hold handles, which help babies develop their grip and hand-eye coordination while exploring these soothing toys. Some teething toys are even designed to be refrigerated, offering extra relief with cool sensations. Beyond simply soothing sore gums, these toys also encourage babies to chew and bite, which helps with the development of jaw muscles and oral motor skills. 

3. What are the best infant toys for encouraging motor skills?

The best infant toys for encouraging motor skills are those that promote activities like reaching, grasping, kicking, and crawling. Activity gyms with hanging toys, for example, are excellent for engaging babies in physical play. As babies reach up to grab the toys, they are strengthening their arm muscles and improving their hand-eye coordination. Toys that babies can bat at or kick help build leg and core strength, which is crucial for crawling and eventually walking. Soft blocks, rattles, and textured balls are also great options, as they encourage babies to grasp, hold, and pass objects between their hands, improving fine motor skills. As babies grow, toys that encourage movement, like rolling balls or push-and-pull toys, are perfect for promoting gross motor skills and helping them transition from sitting to crawling and walking. These toys support physical development while keeping babies entertained and motivated to move.

4. Are there infant toys in the collection that promote language development?

Yes, some infant toys in Kido Bébé’s collection are designed to promote early language development. Interactive toys that make sounds, play music, or repeat words help babies begin to recognize patterns and respond to auditory cues, which is a crucial step in learning language. For instance, talking toys or toys that sing nursery rhymes encourage babies to listen to new words and mimic sounds. Toys that involve babbling or encourage cooing, like musical instruments or activity tables, help babies practice their vocalizations, developing their communication skills. Simple books with textures or sound buttons also engage babies in early reading experiences, introducing them to the rhythm of language. By exposing babies to different sounds and words through play, these toys set the stage for language acquisition, helping babies build listening and speaking skills that will evolve as they grow.

5. How can I clean and maintain baby toys safely?

Keeping baby toys clean is important for maintaining your baby’s health and safety, especially since babies often put toys in their mouths. Many toys from Kido Bébé’s collection are made from materials that are easy to clean. Soft plush toys can usually be machine-washed, but always check the care label for instructions. Plastic or silicone toys, such as teething rings or rattles, can be wiped down with warm soapy water or a baby-safe disinfectant. Some toys may also be dishwasher-safe, making cleaning quick and easy. It’s essential to clean toys regularly, especially those that your baby frequently chews on. For electronic toys or toys with batteries, wipe them down with a damp cloth to avoid damaging the components. Regular cleaning helps ensure that your baby’s toys stay hygienic and safe for use, reducing the risk of spreading germs.
