Finding the perfect toys for your little one really depends on their age. Rosenberg says that for babies 0 to 3 months, you should focus on super simple toys that make a noise or play music so they can begin tracking sounds. From 4 to 6 months, look for bright, safe, soft toys that will be interesting for them to look at and easy for them to grab and hold onto. From 6 to 9 months, you'll want toys that make sounds and have textures, but they should also be safe since babies will likely stick them in their mouths.
Baby-safe mirrors are also ideal at this age. And from 9 to 12 months, give baby interactive toys like building blocks so they can start to understand that playtime is social and fun.
