Sensory Toys

Sensory  motor development is the gradual process by which a child gains use and coordination of the large muscles of the legs, trunk, and arms, and the smaller muscles of the hands.A baby begins to experience new awareness through sight, touch, taste, smell, and hearing.

What Is Sensory Development


A baby begins to experience new awareness through sight, touch, taste, smell, and hearing. Their development of senses works in conjunction with other developmental skills. 

Infant learning toys can be used for sensory stimulation that will definitely help to increase their physical, cognitive, and emotional capabilities; all of which are connected to infant brain development.

First 3 Months

During the first 3 months, babies are beginning to see more clearly, and listening to sounds.  

Mobiles are often used to soothe a fussy baby, but they also help baby develop directional hearing skills.  Mobiles with movement, bright colors also encourages the infant to focus on an object.  Babies focus when their parents, and others interact with them.  They are beginning to recognize familiar faces. 

Rattles for the arm and wrist are also great sensory developmental toys.  In order for baby to hear the rattle, they are encouraged to move their legs and arms.

3 to 6 Months

During this time, the baby is now becoming more alert and active.  Not only are they continuing to develop their senses, but with the movements for rolling over, trying to sit up, reaching, touching, kicking, they are also working on their motor skills. 

Hanging Toys: Are found on playmats and as activity bars for infant car seats, and strollers, as well as mobiles. There are mobiles that go from crib to stroller. They all help build the large muscle groups and help to develop hand-eye coordination and visual acuity.

Soft Books: Reading with your baby develops memory skills, color contrast, recognition of pictures and faces, and it develops communication as well.



Stuffed animals and other toys that are interactive, with various textures are perfect for this stage of development. 

​The Bright Starts Start Your Senses Sensory Giraffe  helps your infant with sense of touch, sight and sound. Each leg has a toy attached ( teether, bead chaser, mirror, rattle). The bright colors will also grab baby's attention, again using the sight senses to do
 so. 
There other sensory toys similar to the Sensory Giraffe that have sound, music and lights. The VTech Baby Rattle and Sing Puppy is wonderful for entertaining baby. If you scroll down, on the Amazon page, past product description, you will see some video shorts about the 
VTech Baby Rattle and Sing Puppy. Watch how the babies enjoy it.
