Selecting suitable Christmas gifts for a baby means more than finding objects to keep the little one occupied and quiet. Baby gifts and toys are often carefully designed to aid the development of the young child as abilities that adults take for granted take time for young children to learn. Here is a list of popular items that has been researched with some of the largest online retailers of baby products.
Of course every infant and toddler requires staple items such as clothes, bedding, furniture and other gear. However, babies also need opportunities to learn movement and co-ordination, as well as how to differentiate textures, colors, tastes, sounds and shapes. Musical appreciation can also be started at a very young age, as can an awareness of letters and numbers. Fun toys and games are available which aid in developing simple reasoning skills.
Here are some of the most popular gifts for babies:
1. Sophie the Giraffe Teether – Vulli.
This giraffe is very flexible, being made of rubber, and it offers lots of parts – like ears, legs and horns – to chew on. Not only is it soft to touch, like a baby’s mother, but it also has a squeaker to keep the baby amused.
2. Baby Einstein Takealong Tunes.
A chance to introduce the little one to baby-friendly versions of some of the greats of classical music, such as Mozart, Chopin, Vivaldi and Rossini. A large button allows the baby to make its way happily through 7 classical melodies. This is a baby’s version of an MP3 player and it also entertains with colorful lights which display on the screen.
3. Baby’s First Blocks from Brilliant Basics
Ten brightly colored plastic blocks in a bucket invite endless sorting, filling and dumping, which also aids eye-hand co-ordination and learning to identify different shapes. The container box has a handle which makes it easy to carry.
4. Jacques the Peacock from Lamaze.
A beautiful peacock with lovely colors, a mirror, many textures and sounds, it was designed with the aid of development experts at Yale University. It has an easy attachment for strollers and carriers. It is easy to take with you on shopping trips and play dates. The soft velour body invites playing and snuggling and is easy for little hands to use.

The selected instrument plays to the beat of the music or all of them can be combined into an orchestra. It has lots of bright colors and soft, rounded corners.

With a rainforest setting, this baby jumper stimulates movement, with a fun seat and toys in five locations on the platform. There is also an electronic toy on the front which moves and provides music and lights that can be activated simply by the baby. An elephant, monkey, parrot and tiger add to the excitement.
