Within the first twelve months of your baby’s life there will be a huge amount of development and changes that take place before your very eyes.  By the time your baby is entering their eighth month, they will start to become more mobile and independent.  This is the stage were you need your wits about you as they want to move around and get into everything!  However, your baby will still want you close by.

Traditional toys such as the classic wooden rocking horse will become appealing once your baby hits the twelve month mark, and the gentle motion of these favourite wooden toys will delight your intrepid baby.  Babies will also enjoy pulling themselves up at this stage so wooden toys that are stable and fixed, such as an activity table will allow them to exercise their strengthening leg muscles.  Babies love to pull themselves up and then cruise along furniture so keep a careful eye on your little explorer.

Babies are also learning all about cause and effect, so they will enjoy dropping their wooden toys and hearing the noise.  They will also get excited about watching mummy and daddy pick it up again!

Other key areas of development are that they will begin to point and gesture along with making sounds to articulate what they want and need.  If they get angry they will express it clearly by screaming and stiffening their bodies and they will delight in simple and repetitive games.

At My Natural Wooden Toys we have a wide range of traditional toys that will entertain your baby and last for many years to come.
