Using Baby Learning Toys to Develop a Baby"s Senses
If you're a new parent, or getting ready for a new baby, you've probably read about infant developmental, or stimulation, toys at one point.
These toys, also called baby learning toys, are designed to develop a child's five senses.
A baby doesn't have fully clear senses for the first six months, and this includes blurred vision, fuzzy hearing, and hands that can't fully grasp onto things.
Baby learning toys are geared toward developing these three senses - touch, hearing, and sight - first before the other two, and specific developmental toys have these three aspects exaggerated.
From black, white, and red patterned mobiles to musical toys that make loud or jingling sharp sounds to a variety of textures, toys designed for stimulation make sensory experiences exaggerated for a baby to start developing these senses.
Objects in black, white, and red is the latest trend in baby learning toys.
Nearly any object in or near a baby's crib is often designed in black, red, and white solid colors and patterns to stimulate a baby's vision.
Such objects include mobiles, crib and baby books, teething rings, and stuffed animals.
Stimulation mobiles, in particular, add variety to this color scheme by having interchangeable cloth animals or cards designed in black and white.
This can range from various patterned animals to cards depicting patterns, shapes, and baby faces all designed with black, white, and red.
Stimulation is done with textures and sounds for other baby toys.
For the former, dolls and play mats are designed with various sounds that a baby will hear when he or she touches, holds, or rolls over something.
For dolls, a cloth doll may have a bell inside that makes jingling sounds when a baby picks it up, and a portion of the doll, such as the arms, may be filled with a beanbag-like material to create a crinkling sound.
The cloth of the doll may have soft ridges, like corduroy material, at points and be flat at others for a texture the baby can feel.
In addition, baby learning toys may play music or make other sounds when a baby presses or touches the toy.
