Baby Toys, Infant Toys, and Crib Toys

Have you ever watched a little baby when a brightly colored toy or soft rattle is shown to them? Their eyes try to focus, their head turns in the direction of the noise, they will flail their arms and legs. They are trying everything they can to interact with the stimuli. Infants learn with their entire body. Gross motor skills develop exponentially, and their entire learning process is a whole body experience.

Safety is of top concern at this age. Make sure that products given to infants fit within safety standards: unbreakable, no small parts (including eyes on a doll or wheels on a car), nontoxic, and of a good size. An excellent indicator of size is a paper towel roll. If a toy can fit inside a paper towel roll, then it is too small for an infant.

GROSS MOTOR DEVELOPMENT

Physical development in the first year of life is amazing. Children go from these seemingly helpless creatures to those that are crawling (and sometimes walking) into all sorts of predicaments! You can encourage the development of gross motor skills by finding products that are easy for young children to use and have a response they enjoy.

SENSORY STIMULATION

Babies rely heavily on their senses to get to know the world around them. By providing them with toys and products that offer a variety in each of the senses (sight, hearing, taste, touch, smell), you are encouraging them to get to know the diverse world around them.

IMAGINATIVE PLAY

By the end of the first year, children are starting to mimic the action around them. Pots and pans become fascinating toys, and "getting" to "help" clean the house is a treat. Encourage children to think open-endedly at an early age to tap in on their budding creative sides.

PRINT IMMERSION

It is never too early (or too late) to start reading to a child. By exposing children to the printed word, you can teach them the value of reading and the pleasure that comes with it. Provide a variety of books and stories, and at the infant stage, make sure that they will stand up to lots of exploring!

What is WonderBrains all about?

As parents, we here at WonderBrains, believe that education and playtime don't have to be mutually exclusive terms. But in this high energy, multi-faceted market of toys, it seems more and more that the idea of educational toys is left as a nice concept with little mainstream support. It is our belief that parents want toys and games that can provide educational value and that is why our focus is on bringing the best quality educational toys to parents who are searching for ways to enhance their children's educational growth while still having fun. We feel that the more interested a child is in a toy the more likely they are to continue playing with it and when you couple that interest with an educational overtone, you've got a win-win situation.

We also believe in the Howard Gardner model of Multiple Intelligences and we constantly look for educational toys and games, baby toys and a variety of other types of types like construction and wooden toys that can be used to provide children with the ability to cultivate any or all of their own intelligences based on this model. Many children, as well as adults, find it difficult to conform to a rigid sense of the 3 R's (Reading, wRiting and aRithmetic) which is where Dr. Gardner's model takes over. Educational toys provide a conduit to creating enjoyable and enthusiastic play while also engaging the child in new and innovative ways to learn without making them think they're being taught!!

Wikipedia has a good deal of information on Multiple Intelligences if you want to read further.

Our goal at WonderBrains is to find educational toys and games that work well in this Multiple Intelligences model, which is why you will find our MI icons on every product page. We continually strive to be the very best provider and partner with our customers/parents in helping you help your children grow as people. Educational toys and games do not need to be boring, rather it is our hope that children, from a very early age can be exposed to learning in fun and exciting ways, which can and should make for a lifetime of enjoyment as they seek to learn and explore their world.

We also work to make sure that our toys are not subject to safety recalls, and that if any occur, they are removed from our line immediately. The US Consumer Product Safety Commission is a great place to help you keep an eye on recalls. We also announce toy recalls on our blog.

Think. Play. Create. is more than a slogan, it's our mantra here at WonderBrains. Let us help you find ways to get your kids excited about learning!
