• stacking ring cones are also appropriate for them so make sure you give these cones high priority when choosing toys to give to your kids

• choose toys that rattle or squeak as infants tend to respond to sounds a bit more as at their age they still have poor eyesight, but be sure they are tough and unbreakable to make sure they don't cause any injury or harm to your kids

• mobiles that have objects attached to them are also good but make sure the cords are less than a foot long, any longer and it can cause potential harm

• washable dolls or animals are also good to give to your children who are up to a year old, just make sure the eyes are embroidered so they are tightly attached to the toy and won't fall off easily as these can potentially do some harm to your babies when they ingest the detached parts.
