Start introducing toys to a newborn around two to three months of age, when they begin to show more interest in their surroundings. At this stage, soft, lightweight toys that encourage visual tracking or gentle sounds can engage their senses. Toys with high contrast colours or simple textures can help stimulate their developing vision and touch. As your baby grows, you can gradually introduce toys that promote reaching, grasping, and eventually interactive play, always keeping their developmental stage and safety in mind.

Appropriate first toys for babies include toys that stimulate their senses and promote early motor skills. Soft, plush toys or rattles with different textures and colours can captivate their attention and encourage grasping.
