Sensory Toys

About this collection

Sensory toys help babies explore the world through touch, sound, colour and movement. In this collection you will find teether rattles in fun shapes, soft squeaky blocks, activity cubes with a xylophone, suction spinner toys for the window or high chair and wooden Montessori sensory boxes from Woopie Baby, Tooky Toy, Classic World and Viga.

What sensory play gives a baby

Every new texture, rustle or click is information for a growing brain. A baby who squeezes a soft block, shakes a rattle or spins a suction toy learns that their action has a result. Sensory play trains grasping, hearing, sight and hand-eye coordination, and it is calming too: many babies settle down when they can explore something soft or gently rattling.

Sensory toys by age

From birth. Light ball rattles and teethers with loops, fox and UFO shaped teethers, and the Tooky Toy Montessori sensory box for 0–6 months.
From 6 months. Soft squeeze blocks, a sensory tag ball, activity cubes with animals or a xylophone – toys to squeeze, chew and turn over.
From 12 months. Squeaky matching blocks, a tissue box toy with fabric wipes, suction spinners, a toy phone with sounds and wooden activity cubes and tables from Classic World and Viga.

How to choose

Look at the age on the product page first, then at what your baby enjoys right now: chewing, shaking or pulling. Soft toys should be easy to wash, and teethers should be large enough and free of small detachable parts. A few well-chosen toys rotated every week keep curiosity alive better than a full basket.
