LeapFrog Shapes & Sharing Picnic Basket

Six-month-old girls are growing and changing by the day. Look for toys for six-month-old girls that help them to learn new skills and advance their developmental milestones.

Babies this age are learning to recognize faces and love looking at their own faces in the mirror.  They enjoy interacting with adults and other children because it’s a way for them to understand more about emotions and reactions. This helps babies learn about empathy.

Opt for toys for six-month-old girls which encourage socialization or make playing with others more fun. For example, an interactive book is a great choice because adults can read the book to the child while they enjoy the pictures and sounds.

Many six-month-old girls are able to roll over in both directions. Some are also learning to sit up on their own without any support. Toys that hold their attention will encourage them to work on their sitting skills. For example, a set of blocks is fun to play with while sitting, as babies can try holding them in their hands, stacking them or knocking them over.

• Six-month-old girls learn through their senses, and one way they do that is to put objects in their mouths. Ensure that the toys your child is playing with are safe for them to explore in that way, and are not small enough to become choking hazards. Toys made from safe plastic materials are a good choice at this age because they can be easily washed with soap and water to ensure they are safe for babies to mouth.
• Many parents prefer toys that will grow with their child and interest them for several months or years. A musical table is a great option if you want a toy babies can play with as they grow. At six months old, babies can sit next to the table and enjoy pushing the buttons. As they grow older, they can lean on the table to stand and play with the interactive elements.
• Six-month-old babies are learning to transfer toys from one hand to the other. In order to encourage this motor skill, look for toys with several pieces, such as a play picnic basket. Babies can practice holding each picnic item, moving it around, and placing it in the basket.
