All about rattles: what they are, what they develop, how to choose according to the age of the child


Pendants

The most common option is a pendant, a convenient clothespin or a special ring. The suspension is fixed to the structure.

Important! A musical (sound) toy, if it is to be used outdoors in a stroller, where it is very noisy, must be loud.

Be sure to have bright pendants and arches that attract attention.

The pendants are fixed approximately 30-40 cm from the baby’s face. Closer is not recommended, because the child must see the toy in front of him without damaging his vision.

Increasing the distance is also bad for the child, because he will definitely reach out to touch it. Tactile sensations are very important for the baby.

Educational mats

Play mats are recommended to be used almost from birth. The most popular and practical are rugs with arcs. The surface of the rug is bright, with many educational elements, and toys are suspended on the arcs. It is useful to place a newborn on the mat for a short time so that he follows the toys and learns to concentrate his eyes. Place your baby on his tummy so he can learn to hold his head and avoid suffering from colic.

The most interesting games on the mat will begin at three to four months, when the child wants to roll over and grab toys. On the surface of the rug there are many rustling sounds, squeaks and interesting patterns that will attract him. By touching the multi-textured surface of the rug, the baby will develop tactile sensations. Playing on the mat, he will learn to roll over faster, because there are so many interesting things around.

Arc

When buying a stroller, pay attention to whether it has an arc for hanging rattles.

Advantages of this stroller:

  • The arc is easy to remove for cleaning.
  • A bright product without beepers is attractive to the baby and increases his interest in everything that surrounds him.
  • The special arc for sound signals offers various models.
  • Most designs allow you to slightly change the shape to adjust the distance to the baby's eyes.
  • Manufacturers produce separate arches and sets of baby rattles, so as not to have to select individual elements.

If parents have a solid choice, they can easily be replaced. This will add variety for the baby and will attract attention to various objects.

Most arcades with multiple toys come with a spacious storage net.

Music mobiles

A bright carousel can be used from the first days of a newborn’s life. Usually it is attached to the head of the child's crib so that he can observe the movement of the toys. The mobile helps develop the baby's auditory and visual perception. The child learns to concentrate his gaze, trying to focus on moving objects. By three to four months of age, he will begin to reach for toys, he will want to grab them and take them in his hands.

Most mobiles have removable toys, so you can play with them separately. For many children, a mobile phone helps them calm down and fall asleep, thanks to the functions of playing melodies and the projector. The more functions, the longer the child will be captivated, and the mother will be able to take time for herself or calmly drink tea.

Bumper trim

If the stroller has a built-in arch, this will allow you to place various sound signals on it in the form of animals, buttons or tools. They do not always have to hang; they can be fixed.

Such rattles will not fall on the child, and will not sway in the wind or when traveling.

They produce bright panels with various design solutions that emit noise or simple pleasant melodies. So the stroller can turn into a transport control booth.

How to wash and treat toys for newborns

Over time, all toys become dirty and need to be washed. It is recommended to wash rattles and simple plastic toys in warm water with baby soap or a special product. Be sure to rinse well and rinse with boiled water. For rugs and music mobiles, use a damp cloth to wipe away dust. If your mobile has soft, removable toys, remove them for washing. Some rugs are machine washable. Such information is always indicated on the packaging of the toy.

New parents very often do not realize how important the right choice is. That is why, when in the first days of life he refuses to take a rattle in his hand or simply does not pay attention to it, parents have a question - at what age does a newborn need toys?

Musical (sound) toys

Manufacturers today offer a huge selection of musical toys. They make a wide variety of sounds.

It could be a piano keyboard. This sound toy is popular among children; from an early age they try to press the keys.

An alternative option is a toy phone with buttons. When pressed, they produce notes, sometimes children's melodies or sounds made by various animals.

Children always like sound toys, because they can control the sounds themselves. It is important to have a large supply of batteries on hand, because the baby will be upset when the sounds suddenly disappear.

Rattles for babies

You need to use rattles from the first days of a child’s life, but first you will need the help of parents. The baby needs to be shown a rattle so that he learns to concentrate his eyes, learns to follow the movement of the toy, and reacts to sound. At the age of three to four months, you can give a rattle to the child’s hands - let him practice, try to hold it. By holding a rattle and swinging it, the baby will learn to control his arms and coordinate movements.

This is the optimal set of toys for a newborn baby. They will help him develop quickly and learn about the world around him.

Tips for choosing rattles

To make the right choice, parents will need simple recommendations:
There are no age restrictions for crib or stroller pendants. They can be placed from the birth of the baby. Age is determined only by the child’s interest. Sometimes at 1 year old a child already takes real toys, while others continue to play.

You should not skimp on items for games, they can quickly get boring. It is valuable if they are made of different materials, if loud rattles have a variety of sounds.

Material safety is an important selection criterion. It is better to purchase products made from natural raw materials: plush, felt or plastic, and ask for a quality certificate. Specialized children's stores and shopping centers have such documents.

Be sure to choose smooth shapes of products that do not have sharp corners to avoid injuries and defects.
