Why toys are important at this stage
Toys play a crucial role in a baby's development, even at just 2 months old. They can enhance sensory experiences, motivate movement, and promote interaction. This is when a baby's vision is improving, they start focusing better, and they begin to interact more with their surroundings.
Sensory stimulation
For babies, sensory toys can include anything with bright colors, gentle sounds, or interesting textures. Look for toys that are safe and non-toxic, as babies this age often explore objects with their mouths.
