Development Questions
How do I know if a toy is age appropriate for my child?
How can I know if a toy is developmentally challenging my baby?
A good toy will keep your baby busy for quite a while, put a smile on his face, capture his interest, and excite him.
How do I know how many toys my baby really needs?
Three to five toys for each stage are a good number. If you feel your baby is taking his/her time in a developmental stage buy him more toys. If you feel he is ready to move on buy a toy that fits his new developmental stage.
Are developmental toys for real or just a marketing gimmick?
We believe that good developmental toys are a building block in baby’s development. The world is moving fast (we sometimes think it makes more than 1 round in 24 hours) and faster compared to generations before. Nowadays babies are surrounded with endless stimulations from their surroundings. A good developmental toy caters to key values (colors, music, textures etc.) in an infant’s world.
