In this video I’m sharing a proper baby toys haul for the 3–6 month stage, based on what we’ve actually been using with Freya (she’s six months now). I chat through our play set-up at home, including our playmats and how we use them day-to-day, plus a few simple toys that have been great for grasping, tummy time, and keeping her interested without going overboard. If you’re a first-time mum and you’re wondering what’s worth buying versus what’s just clutter, this is very much the kind of round-up I wish I had earlier on. I also go into sensory play ideas and a few easy activities you can do at home, especially if you feel like you’re doing the same thing on repeat. I share two books that have helped me with age-appropriate play ideas, plus an app I’ve been using for activity inspiration. The main takeaway is that you don’t need hundreds of toys—having a handful that support development (grabbing, tracking, textures, cause-and-effect) and rotating them makes such a difference, and it keeps play feeling fresh for both you and baby.
