TOYS FOR AGES 8 - 12 MONTHS

Advances in motor development between the ages of 8 and 12 months affect which toys are appropriate for babies. Babies ages 8 through 12 months are learning to do more things with their hands. They learn to open and close their fingers and become more coordinated as they explore different objects.

Babies in this age range are interested in toys with moving parts, as they learn more about cause and effect. They like to put things into containers. Blocks are also popular at this time.

Types of toys that are good for ages 8 through 12 months include:

unbreakable, child-safe mirror
stacking toys
unbreakable containers (cups, pails)
building blocks (large size)
"busy boxes"
large puppets and dolls
soft plastic cars and trucks.
balls (different sizes and colors)
