Interactive Play and Muscle Control at 6 Months

The fun is just beginning as both fine and gross motor skills continue to develop.

Your baby starts to understand the concept of cause and reaction better, and gets lots of laughs from playing interactive games, such as “peek-a-boo”.

This is the age that begins the love of toys with lots of action (movement).

Large pieces, such as toys that include a ball that is dropped at the top and spins through the entire pathway before exiting the bottom, bring hours of fun to your 6 month old.

Your baby will love toys with vibrant colors, and will even begin to increase his or her sensory skills of expressing him or herself through role playing toys.

Gross Motor Skills and Toys to Encourage Strength and Development at 9 Months

This is the month where your baby may begin to take his or her first steps by holding on to the side of the couch or maybe even taking a few steps on his or her own, increasing the range of discovery.

As your baby’s fine and gross motor skills continue to develop, simple toys, such as a ball being rolled back and forth from you to your baby can be very entertaining.

Your baby will still enjoy building blocks and objects, with an addition of having more fun knocking it down and rebuilding it again.

You will also want to continue the letter and sound recognition toys for language development.
