Buying an educational infant toy is a great way to combine fun and learning into your child's life at an early age. It is through play that children develop many valuable skills. Their cognitive, physical and social development can flourish when you expose them to the right toys. At Kidoodles, we offer a number of educational infant toy options.

Choosing the Right Infant Toy
Children explore the world through play. The simple act of an infant reaching out for something and releasing it is part of that exploration. Since babies learn through their hands, an infant toy that allows them to manipulate and explore can aid in this discovery. Toys such as our Touch & Kick Butterfly encourage hand and foot exploration. Each pad of the butterfly plays four whimsical sounds each time that pad is kicked or touched.

One thing that is important to consider when searching for an infant toy is to choose a toy that is developmentally appropriate. As a child grows so do his or her skills. Initially babies want to reach out and hold whatever they can, a rattle is the perfect infant toy for this period as little hands can easily hold them. We offer a selection of rattles that add multi-sensory dimensions through various colors, textures and sounds.

In addition to stimulating a baby's senses, toys can also help them feel more powerful in their world. By giving babies toys that are responsive, you can show them how they can have an effect on their surroundings. Our Whoozit collection of toys are great for teaching cause and effect and have many colorful shapes and fun sounds that your infant is sure to love.
