Sound and music is an important part of a baby and toddler’s development.  Straight from birth a baby will begin to tune into the sound of its mother voice and may start to feel calmed by a certain lullaby.  In fact, it has been proven that unborn babies love to listen to classical music and this adoration of sounds will develop even stronger once born.

Wooden toys can also offer sounds and music to a developing baby.  Wooden rattles and shakers can create clacking noises that will delight a small baby as they shake them.  Traditional toys such as music boxes will amuse older babies with spinning characters to watch and marvel at.  From around eight months babies really start to tune into music and nursery rhymes and will start to move to the beat of a song.  This cute shuffle will develop quickly into a form of dance as they start to stand and take their first few wobbly steps.  Wooden pull toys often have a rhythmic sound which will make a toddler giggle with delight.

Lullabies are a firm favourite and if introduced early in a baby’s bedtime routine they will lull a fractious baby to sleep.  Music can be used to stimulate your baby or create a relaxed and subdued atmosphere.  Through sounds babies will learn cause and effect and songs and nursery rhymes will help them to develop speech quickly.

At My Natural Wooden Toys we have a stunning range of wooden toys to appeal to all the developing senses of your child.
