At what age can babies play with things?

When taking care of their children, many mothers hope that their children can grow up healthy, just like other healthy children. So when they see other children doing something, but their own children can't do it, they will be particularly anxious and worried, worried that their children can't do it. Many children start grabbing things at a few months old, but the development of each baby is definitely different. So at what months does a baby start to play with things?

In fact, babies can play with toys as soon as they are born. When parents choose toys for their children, they should base it on their age and physical development level, while also considering safety and hygiene.

From 1 to 6 months old, you can choose some toys with sounds to attract him, such as wind chimes that rotate with music, or toys that can be shaken in your hand.

7 to 9 months: At this time, the child can sit up, reach out for objects or crawl on the ground. Crawling is very helpful for children to broaden their vision and develop their brain. At this time, you should choose simple, interesting and durable toys, such as motorized toys (motorized cars and moving animal models), dolls, etc. Let children be interested in crawling and chasing toys, which can not only strengthen their physical fitness but also promote intellectual development.

At 10 to 12 months old, you can start training your child to stand and develop fine and flexible movements in the small muscles of his hands. Suitable toys include fences, rocking horses, small containers, hammers, stacking towers, stacking bowls and building blocks. Children of this age love to throw things, so you can choose inspiring and active toys that can be grasped by hands, preferably those that are not easily broken, such as plush, rubber, or plastic toys.

Children aged 1 to 2 years old can walk and are more active. This is a period in which their senses, perception, attention and memory develop rapidly. Based on the child's walking and intellectual development, you can choose toys that can be dragged and make sounds, such as a bear that plays drums while walking, a wooden drag duck cart, a wheelbarrow, a ball and a walker.

At the age of 3 to 6, children love to play with friends, are active, have a strong desire for knowledge and imitation, and can choose toys that require them to operate and assemble by themselves to satisfy their curiosity and exercise their hands-on ability.

It depends on the situation. If the baby develops well, then normally he will grab things at the age of three months, but he won't grab them very tightly. In fact, it's best not to worry about this situation in the child. As long as he grabs things before the age of one, it's normal. Parents need to amuse their children often, holding things to attract them, so that over time they will be able to grab things and play with them by themselves.
