Educational Toys - Suitability - Development Chart
There are many types of educational toy available and the vast range on offer can be confusing. It's therefore not unusual that we will buy an educational toy which will appeal to us but not be suitable for the baby. The suitability of a educational toys depends on the age and developmental stage of the baby. Pick an educational toy which will stimulate the senses and skills that correspond to the correct stage of development ! A baby's senses are at different stages of development. For instance the sense of hearing is much further advanced than the sense of sight. Between birth and 3 months the range of sight is no more than between 8 and 10 inches. It would therefore make perfect sense to encourage the use of stimulating toys that can be appreciated at the appropriate infant development stage.
