Baby Toys & Play Mats

Baby toys here are soft, simple toys for the first years: rattles, sensory toys, stroller toys and a play mat.

Plush animal rattles come on grip rings or with crinkle ears and a teether. Wrist rattles and foot finder socks give tiny hands and feet something to find. Textured sensory balls, a grasping ball with knobs and a pull-string toy suit little fingers. A spiral activity toy wraps around a stroller or cot rail, and a musical activity gym gives floor time a piano mat and hanging toys.

Check the age range on each listing first. Toys for newborns should be soft and light, while tumblers and pull-and-match games suit older babies who sit up and grab. Look at the size of every part, and wash soft toys before first use.

Baby toy questions

Which toys suit a newborn?

Soft rattles, wrist rattles and high-contrast plush toys are light and easy to hold. Keep harder toys and games for when the baby can sit and grasp.

How do I clean plush baby toys?

Follow the care note on the listing. Most plush toys can be hand washed in mild soap and left to air dry. Silicone parts wipe clean.
