Introducing how to use and when to use baby toys [Hagatame] and [Den-den]

I still can't use it myself

After birth, babies cannot move or hold things until they can hold their head up. However, babies have a great way of seeing. Although their eyesight is not yet perfect, they can observe objects and their mother's movements very well.

Babies cannot use toys themselves, but you can move them in front of their face. Gradually, they will start to make eye contact and follow objects with their eyes. Their sudden smiles will be a real treat to look at.

Around 8 months: Your baby will be able to do more on his/her own

At about 8 months old, babies start to do more things in no time, such as sitting, crawling, crawling, and standing up. The speed of growth at this time feels really fast. Every time I come home from work, I am moved by the sight of my child who is able to do more and more things.

Babies also like to hold toys and put everything in their mouths. However, strangely enough, there seems to be a certain shape that makes babies want to put things in their mouths. The most popular toy for babies is the "den-den", followed by the "cradle". It seems that they are easy to hold and easy to eat from, and have a shape that makes them want to eat.

Strangely enough, even if you line up a lot of toys for your baby, he will grab that toy first. When he plays with it, he always puts it in his mouth.

An 8-month-old baby I met at an event. The most popular item among mothers was the cradle.

Do you no longer use it once your child is over 1 year old?

Baby toys such as "cradles" and "toys" are only played with for a certain period of time. Once a child turns one year old, they are often considered to be different toys.

However, it will be after the age of one before babies start making sounds on their own. Babies who used to mainly put things in their mouths will now start to find new ways to play, such as rocking and shaking.

At the event the other day, a 1 year and 3 month old child really liked the Den-den. He was great at shaking it and making sounds.

Children will find ways to play with things depending on the situation, so it's never too late to give them to them.

There is a toy you need at that time.

We often hear comments like this.

"My child will soon grow out of these toys, so I need toys that last a long time and are good value for money."

I totally understand. There is a limit to how much money you can spend on toys, so I understand the need to think about cost-effectiveness. However, for an 8-month-old baby, that 8th month is a once in a lifetime period, and there are toys that the baby wants and needs at that time. I would be happy if you could buy toys for them as gradually as possible.

Babies grow up so quickly, but they can play with it for a surprisingly long time because they find creative ways to play with it. Children get bored easily, so they tend to throw it away quickly, but if you put it in a visible place, they will remember it and start playing with it again.

I hope your child will grow up happily with these wooden toys.
