Toys for 0–6 months – little discoveries to make together

A baby’s first toys offer something to look at, listen to and eventually reach for. A soft rattle, a cloth book or a simple hanging toy can be all you need for a cosy moment together. At Lirum Larum Leg, you’ll find baby toys for ages 0–6 months, with different shapes, textures and sounds for you to explore together.

When recommending toys for the first few months, we focus in particular on how easy they are to grasp, the variety they offer and the opportunities for calm play. Your face and voice are fascinating to your baby, too. Toys are a complement to spending time together, and there’s no need for something to be happening all the time.

Toys for newborns and babies aged 1–2 months

At first, toys for newborns are introduced by an adult. A simple visual, a gentle rattle or a hanging toy can give your baby something to focus on. Let your baby look at one thing at a time, and give them time to respond.

For a 1- or 2-month-old baby, you can choose an age-appropriate cloth book or a rattle that you gently move yourself. Take a break when your baby turns away or loses interest. Use and position an activity gym according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Rattles, fabric books and sensory baby toys

In our selection of rattles you’ll find a variety of grips, materials and sounds. At first, a rattle may be something for your baby to listen to; later, they can hold and shake it themselves. Choose a lightweight design with an age recommendation suited to your child.

Fabric books offer colours, pictures and textures for you to explore together. You can talk about the pictures without having to read a whole story. You might also like to explore activity toys for babies, if you’re looking for a toy that brings several little features together.

Sensory toys for babies – grasp, feel and explore

A lightweight rattle can make a lovely gift for a 3-month-old. When choosing toys for a 4- or 5-month-old, look for graspable features and textures your baby will enjoy exploring with their hands. Your baby’s interests and abilities matter more than a specific date on the calendar.

Toys for a 6-month-old might include a grasping ball, a fabric book or an age-appropriate teething ring. In teething rings you’ll find designs for little ones to chew on. Always follow the instructions for each product; not all baby toys are designed to be put in the mouth.

Toys for Your Baby’s First Discoveries

How many toys does a baby aged 0–6 months need?

Start with a few different items. A rattle, a fabric book and an activity toy can offer plenty of variety without having everything out at once. You can rotate the toys and notice what catches your baby’s interest.

Sensory toys don’t need to combine lights, sounds and movement. A texture your baby can feel, or a sound made by a gentle shake, can be an experience in itself. Follow your child’s cues and allow time for breaks. Babies develop at different rates, and toys shouldn’t be used to test what your child can do.

Gift Ideas for Babies in Their First Six Months

A new baby gift that includes a toy could be a rattle for the baby to enjoy now, or something to explore a little later. Choose something that’s easy to hold and clean, and ask the parents what they already have. When choosing a gift set, check the age recommendations for each item it contains.

Also browse our new baby gifts and christening gifts, if you’re looking for a small, personal welcome gift for the family. A fabric book with a charming design can inspire plenty of little conversations as the baby grows.

Choose baby toys based on your baby's age, how easy they are to hold, and how easy they are to clean.

Check the age label, size, warnings and care instructions when buying toys for babies aged 0–6 months. A product labelled for ages 6 months and up is not suitable for a newborn, even if it appears in the same broad category. Also check how any hanging toys should be attached.

Explore our full selection of baby toys for more inspiration. If your baby is ready for new ways to play, such as moving and releasing objects, explore toys for 6–12 months. Follow your baby’s pace, and let playing together be what matters most.

Frequently Asked Questions About Toys for Babies Aged 0–6 Months

Are there toys for newborns?

Yes. Toys for newborns can include a cloth book, a simple hanging toy or a soft rattle shown by an adult. Choose products marked as suitable from birth, and give your baby time to look and listen.
When do babies start playing with toys?

It begins with looking, listening and responding alongside an adult. Later, your baby will also explore with their hands. The timing varies, so follow your child’s interests rather than expecting a particular kind of play at a particular age in months.
What do children play with at 6 months old?

A 6-month-old baby may be fascinated by grasping toys, fabric books, activity balls and teething rings designed for their age. Show your baby one item at a time, and let them turn it over, shake it and explore it at their own pace.
What do you give a 3-month-old baby?

A lightweight rattle, a fabric book or a simple activity toy can make lovely gifts for a 3-month-old baby. Check the age recommendation and, ideally, choose one with a handle that little hands can hold.
What should a 6-month-old baby be able to do?

Children develop at different rates. At around 6 months, many babies may be interested in reaching for, grasping and moving toys from one hand to the other. Use your child’s own abilities as a starting point for play. Speak to your health visitor if you have any concerns about your child’s development.
Which toys are best if my baby becomes easily overstimulated?

Try one simple toy with an easy-to-understand feature, such as a gentle rattle or a soft texture. Reduce other stimulation, watch your baby’s response, and take a break when they turn away or seem tired.
What toys are good for developing motor skills in babies aged 0–6 months?

Lightweight grasping toys and rattles give your baby the opportunity to reach out and hold onto something. You can show your baby the toy and let them try for themselves. Adjust the distance and the play to match what your baby is already doing; the toy shouldn’t push them to reach a developmental milestone before they’re ready.
Which toys stimulate a baby's visual sense?

Simple patterns and clear contrasts can give your baby something to look at. For example, show them a page in a fabric book, and give them time to take it in. The eye contact your baby shares with you is also part of this lovely moment.
What toys stimulate the sense of touch (tactile sense)?

Soft fabrics, crinkly textures and toys with different textures give little hands a variety of things to explore. Choose products suited to your child’s age and follow the care instructions, especially if the toy is also intended to be mouthed.
What is the best sensory-stimulating toy for a baby aged 0–6 months?

The best choice is sensory toys your baby is interested in and that are suitable for their age. A rattle, a cloth book or a grasping ball can be a good place to start. More features aren’t necessarily better.
What toys stimulate a baby's sense of hearing?

A lightweight rattle with a gentle sound, or an activity toy that crackles, gives your baby something to listen to. You can take turns making sounds with the toy and using your voice. Avoid holding sound-making toys close to the ear, and follow the instructions for use.
What toys stimulate oral motor skills and gums?

A teether suitable for your baby’s age gives them something to chew on. Follow the product’s instructions for use and cleaning. Activity toys are not necessarily designed for chewing, and toys are no substitute for professional advice if your baby has feeding difficulties.
