What’s Happening at 0 - 3 Months?
At this stage, your baby is still adjusting to the world. Their vision is developing, they’re starting to notice contrast, and small movements are becoming more intentional.
The toys here focus on simple sensory stimulation such as high-contrast visuals, gentle sounds, and soft textures. These will help support early brain development without overwhelming your baby, while also encouraging those first moments of focus and interaction.
Always follow manufacturer safety guidance and use products only as intended for use where applicable.
