Baby (6–18 months)

Baby Toys for 6 to 18 Months

This collection gathers baby toys for 6 to 18 months, a stage that changes almost weekly. Early in the band, babies grab, shake and mouth everything, so SoftStack Baby Blocks, the Multisensory Musical Development Drum Set and the Baby Foot-Piano Fitness Rack give them sound and movement to respond to, building sensory exploration, cause and effect understanding, and hand-eye coordination. As crawling and pulling up begin, the Crawling Helper Crab and the Interactive Baby Basketball Stacking Toy encourage gross motor skills and floor play, while a Busy Board Montessori Educational Toy sits at floor level for quiet fine motor practice. For more at this stage, see active play for 0-12 months or the younger newborn 0-6 months range.

The older end of the band brings first words and early pretend play. The Original TiniTalker™ Card Reader, the Silicone Lifelike Baby Doll and My Baby Bunny ChatGPT Powered AI Plush support language and vocabulary, memory and focus, and social-emotional growth, while Pyramid Stack Building Blocks and Interactive Hide & Squeak Eggs work on shape and color recognition and problem solving. Most of these developmental toys for babies suit indoor play on a mat or in a playpen, either alone for short stretches or side by side with a parent, which is often where the learning happens. They make practical first-birthday, holiday or new-baby gifts. If your child is walking and talking already, the 1-3 years old collection is the natural next step.
