When choosing toys for a newborn, it’s important to consider their developmental stage and safety. Here are some toy options suitable for newborns:
- Soft plush toys: Look for soft, cuddly stuffed animals or plush toys that are specifically designed for newborns. These toys can provide comfort and sensory stimulation. Great options are available at Amazon.
- Rattles: Choose rattles with easy-to-grasp handles and soft textures. The sound and movement of a rattle can help stimulate a baby’s senses. Like the below toys.

4. Activity mats/play gyms: These mats provide a safe and comfortable surface for newborns to lie on while engaging with various sensory toys, such as hanging toys, mirrors, and textured elements. The one I used for my baby is the Fisher-Price baby gym. You may want to watch the REVIEW of it.
5. Teething toys: You should look for teething toys that are specifically designed for newborns. They should be made of safe, non-toxic materials and have different textures for the baby to explore.
6. Soft books: You can buy Cloth or board books with high-contrast pictures and simple patterns that are great for introducing babies to the world of books. They can also be used for sensory exploration.
7. Music toys: Musical toys that play soothing melodies or lullabies can help calm and comfort newborns. Look for toys with soft, gentle sounds.
Remember, always prioritize safety when choosing toys for newborns. Avoid toys with small parts that can be choking hazards and ensure that all toys are made of non-toxic materials. It’s also important to supervise playtime to prevent accidents.
