Everyone have different opinions how hard is it to take
care a baby and what is safe toys for baby as well. You may not be sure what kind of toys, or how many, you baby should
have. It’s likely that you hear conflicting advice that runs from one extreme
to another! It’s either: “Don’t give your baby toys he’ll be spoiled,” to “Give
your baby lots of toys they develop his brain.” So…which is it?
Both
sides of this debate have valid points. A baby does indeed
learn
from the things she plays with, and the more things she has
access
to, the more she can learn. With this in mind, many parents
spend a fortune
buying toys; however, many toys hold a child’s
attention
for three or four days, only to be relegated to the bottom
of the
toybox or back of a shelf.
Babies
learn about their world by using all five of their senses:
sight,
hearing, taste, smell, and touch. Toys engage and refine
these
senses by:
• Helping
your baby learn how to control his movements and body
parts
• Helping
your baby figure out how things work
• Showing
your baby how he can control things in his world
•
Teaching your baby new ideas
•
Building your baby’s muscle control, coordination, and strength
•
Teaching your baby how to use his imagination
• Showing
your baby how to solve simple problems
• Helping
your baby learn how to play by himself
• Setting
the foundation for learning how to share and cooperate
with
others
Experts
agree that babies need a variety of toys to enrich their
expensive
store-bought toys, she can also learn from a crumpled
piece of
paper, a set of measuring spoons, an empty box, or a leaf.
Everything
is new and interesting to a baby, and if you open your
eyes to
the many wonders in our world, you’ll see that you don’t
have to
spend a fortune to keep your baby happy, interested, and
learning.
What
“home-grown” toys are best?
As you
view the whole world as a bottomless toybox, here are some
tips to
consider:
• Search
for items of different weights, materials, textures,
flexibility,
sizes, shapes, colors, and smells. (Most store-bought
baby toys
are primary-colored plastic; that’s why your metal keys
on a
leather key ring are so very appealing they’re different!)
• Babies
are generalists. Your little one will apply what he learns
from one
object to any other that is similar. Therefore, don’t
give him
an old book or magazine to scribble in unless you want
all of
your books to be potential notepads. A sealed bottle may
look fun,
but your baby may then think he can play with your pill
bottles.
From
the first hour of life, when a baby stares into the eyes of his new parents, he
is learning all about this brave new world. Babies try to make sense of what
they see, touch, taste, grab, hear, hold, and squeeze. Think of a baby
clutching a hunk of ripe banana, slowly squeezing it, and watching in wonder as
the yellow, creamy fruit slithers between his fingers. 
Stroll through a garden. Flowers and plants offer your baby sensory
and aesthetic pleasures. She will be sensitive to, and admiring of, the colors,
sights, and sounds. Trees, flowers, and plants provide opportunities for
talking about rough bark, delicate blossoms, and perfume smells. Some flowers
are lovely to look at but don't have a smell when you sniff them. You can also
pick up your baby to show her a butterfly nosing about to get nectar. (A
butterfly bush in your garden will attract more of these beautiful "flying
flowers!"). Or you can use wall decor in your baby room, they can exploring many things through their own room like disney world, jungle, animal, tree...ect..They will like their room much.
