Toys for 6 - 12 Months

Educational toys for infants aged 6–12 months are essential for fostering early development, especially when they include open-ended elements that encourage exploration and creativity. At this age, babies are learning rapidly through sensory experiences and physical interaction, and toys that stimulate touch, sound, and visual tracking support the growth of cognitive and motor skills. Open-ended toys—such as soft blocks, nesting cups, or simple textured objects—allow infants to explore in multiple ways without a fixed outcome, promoting curiosity, problem-solving, and independent thinking. These types of toys also grow with the child, offering new challenges as their abilities expand. By choosing open-ended, age-appropriate educational toys, caregivers can create a playful environment that nurtures a baby’s natural development while strengthening caregiver-infant bonds through shared discovery.
