Toys and Games as Learning Tools

Another way you can show your baby love and affection is through providing them with toys and other fun playthings. Toys do not have to be the most electronic, most complicated, and most expensive items on the store shelf to provide the best educational opportunities. In fact, the opposite is often true. What makes an object a great educational toy is its ability to attract and involve your baby's sense of hearing, smell, touch, sight, and taste. Different sounds, colors, textures, and even scents increase the knowledge absorbed into small, but quickly growing brains.
