The best baby toys for 0-6 months: what you actually need
When you're shopping for your baby’s first toys, it’s easy to get overwhelmed by options. For babies 0–6 months, the best toys are simple, safe, and designed to support early development like vision, grasping, tummy time, and sensory stimulation. Whether you're a first-time mom, building a baby registry, or shopping for a newborn gift, this list includes tried-and-true toys that both babies and parents love.
I’ve organized the toy recommendations for 0–6 month olds into clear, practical categories. You’ll see images grouped by newborn toys (0–3 months), tummy time toys, sensory toys, and gift-worthy items that are both useful and engaging. Each pin highlights a specific focus — whether it’s visual stimulation, motor skill development, or soothing play — so you can quickly find the best picks for your baby’s stage and needs.
