Good Beginnings Holiday Toy Guide: Infants Edition
December 09, 2016
Please note that the following guidelines are based on typical age ranges. However, each child develops at a different rate and one can refer to an earlier age or advance to the next age as appropriate for your child. Please ask your therapist for their advice as needed.
At this age, your little one is building crucial foundational skills such as attachment and bonding, regulation, sensory processing, reflex integration and motor development!
- Baby gym | Brands we love: Infantino Grow with Me Activity Gym and Ball pit, Baby Einstein Play Gyms, Skip Hop Play Gyms, and Infantino Twist and Fold Play Gym
- Poppy Pillow with Infantino Bug Buddy or Sassy Mirror | Tummy time is fun and easy with these items!
- Tunnels | Crawling is great for core strength, fine motor strength, tactile exploration, body in space awareness, visual perception, reflex integration and more!
