Month 2

The toys selected for a 2-month-old are specifically chosen to support the key developmental milestones of this age: eye movement, hearing, and early grasping. Here is an explanation of how each toy helps your baby learn and grow.

Hanging Mobile with Black-White-Red Designs

At two months, a baby’s vision is improving, but they still have difficulty seeing a full spectrum of colors. The high-contrast designs of black, white, and red are the easiest for them to see and track. The gentle movement of the mobile as it sways back and forth encourages your baby to follow the objects with their eyes, which strengthens their eye muscles and develops their ability to focus and track motion.

Soft Wrist Rattles and Foot Finders

A 2-month-old is just beginning to discover their own body, especially their hands and feet. By putting these soft, gentle rattles on their wrists and ankles, you help them become more aware of their limbs. When your baby moves their arms or kicks their legs, the rattle makes a sound. This helps them understand the concept of cause and effect and provides early auditory stimulation. The different textures and crinkles on the toys also offer tactile feedback.

Gentle Musical Toy (Lullabies)

A baby’s hearing is well-developed at two months, and they are soothed by familiar sounds and gentle melodies. A musical toy that plays soft lullabies provides a comforting experience and helps with auditory development. It can be a wonderful part of a calming routine before naps or bedtime, helping to create a sense of predictability and security.

Sensory Lovey or Security Blanket

A lovey or security blanket offers a variety of tactile experiences, which are crucial for a baby’s sensory development. They can feel different textures, such as soft fleece, silky satin, or bumpy corduroy. At this age, a baby will begin to pat and reach for objects, and a lovey provides a safe and engaging item for them to explore with their hands and face. It can also become a comfort object, offering a sense of security as they grow.
