Finding the right toys for a young baby can be a bit of a challenge. Newborn babies prefer simple and bright toys that can catch their attention, while those who’re closer to six months old may prefer something a little more interactive so that their minds can be stimulated.

Once they’re around a year old, most babies should be starting to move around a bit more, so parents might like toys which can keep them occupied or help them master their new motor skills. And as they get older, your child will become interested in more elaborate and stimulating toys that can harness their imagination and learning abilities.

Whether you’re looking for an appropriate gift for a newborn baby or a toy to keep a toddler happy, here are a list of the top ten best toys to make sure that your little one is entertained.
