Providing toys that are appropriate to your baby's age is very important to support their sensory development. Sensory development refers to a baby's ability to receive, process, and respond to stimuli from their environment through the five senses: sight, hearing, smell, touch, and taste. During this period of development, babies learn to recognize and understand the world around them through rich and varied sensory experiences. Therefore, providing the right toys can help stimulate these senses and support the baby's motor and cognitive development. Below are some recommendations for toys for babies 3-6 months that can help train your little one's sensory skills
