In the second half of the first year of life, babies begin to explore the world around them and become aware of their physical possibilities. For more toys they have, what will be most fun for them will be to crawl around the house and, later, learn to stand on their two legs. But the most suitable toys for this stage they are those that stimulate him and call his attention.
One of the games that they enjoy the most is crawling behind an object that rolls in bright colors like a ball, a car or a roller. As the baby crawls it will push and chase it. Another of his great entertainment is to check how the law of gravity works. They love dropping toys on the floor from their seat or from the stroller, but they are more entertained that you pick them up and return them, to do the same again.
They also discover musical toys and check the mechanism of cause and effect; they realize that pressing a key or playing a drum produces a sound. Toys that make you feel this power are ideal as those that do something when a button is pressed, a lever is moved, or a cord is pulled. Although they seem small for books, there are some with plastic sheets (cardboard ones can chew them) with which they will enjoy watching the drawings and passing the sheets. There are also some cloth with die cut, mirrors, wheels to spin, textures and other activities that are very appropriate for babies.
They begin to understand the concept of inside-outside, full-empty, so they will like the typical cubes that fit inside each other and that are also stacked, as well as empty boxes or bags and refill them. Although I need your help, the rings that have to fit into a base are very fun.
