(HealthDayNews) -- With the overwhelming array of toys on store shelves, how do you judge what will tickle your baby's imagination?
According to Harvard Medical School researchers, infants younger than 1 year are developing their senses of sight, sound and touch, and would enjoy playing with:
- Brightly colored mobiles hung over a crib or changing table.
- Rattles.
- Unbreakable mirrors.
- Washable cloth picture books, board books, rough-smooth touching books.
- Washable, relatively small stuffed animals or dolls.
- Balls that are about the size of your fist and made of durable, washable plastic or soft cloth.
- Teething toys.
- Nesting cups, blocks or stacking rings.
- Push toys.
