Types of toys

On sale there are mobiles in which the elements are fixed permanently and those in which toys can be removed.

Carousels with removable toys are preferable if you want to change the elements.

The themes of carousel figurines on the market are varied: bees and flowers, helicopters and cars, fairies and children. The choice is limited only by the style of the room and the preferences of the baby.

Closer to six months, when the baby begins to sit, toys from the mobile phone can be used for games.

The most common materials for making toys are:

• Plastic. Rigid shaped elements are convenient for games and more hygienic. To clean plastic figures, just rinse the surface or wipe with a clean, damp cloth.
• Textile. Soft figures are pleasant to the touch. But they easily absorb moisture and therefore need regular cleaning. Soft pendants made of velor or felt must be washed or disinfected with a quartz lamp. To make them you don’t need a lot of material: you can use leftovers from sewing an organizer or other children’s things.
• Tree. The environmentally friendly material is pleasant to the touch and produces a dull sound upon contact.

Regardless of the type of material used, the figures should include only large, well-fixed elements.

By looking at large pendants, it will be easier for the child to perceive shape and color.

Pendants in muted pastel colors will calm the baby, and bright colorful designs will attract attention during wakefulness.

But until the baby grows up, it is better to avoid choosing acidic colors and shades.
