It is the general consensus of baby experts that babies should be given toys to play with. The first reason for this is that for them, playtime is also learning time and the tasks that infants need to learn are best learned by playing with toys
During infancy, much of the growth is focused on the muscles and the bones. That is why the rate of growth during those years is much faster than at a later age. It is necessary that babies have all the nutrients that their muscles and bones will need to develop normally. But it is equally as important that they have the means and the tools to train those muscles and bones to perform tasks such as keeping their balance and handling objects.
.The mental faculties of infants are not yet capable of inventing ways for them to willfully stimulate their growth. Instead of that, they are endowed with intensely inquisitive natures which lead them to touch, smell and manipulate everything they see and can reach. It is this 'meddling' nature of babies that we have to use to teach them the skills they need to learn.
Obviously, the toys that we give to infants should be without surfaces that can physically harm the infant. The two main things to avoid in toys are pointed shapes and sharp edges on the toys themselves. The overall contour of the toy should not be elongated either. The best ones to get will be rounded.
Balls and rounded hoops are perfectly safe for the baby to handle and play with. For the first year and a half, do not give the baby box-type toys, particularly if the corners of the box are pointed.
Carefully consider the paint that was used on the baby toy. Inorganic paints have chemical ingredients which, even after the paint has dried, continue to discharge harmful chemicals into the air for some time. Also, the fact that babies are prone to put things in their mouths or to lick on their toys makes inorganic paints an unsafe choice. Besides inorganic dyes, you also need to look out for flammable ones. In that regard, most inorganic dyes are flammable.
It is absolutely necessary to inquire about the coloring substance used on a toy before purchasing it. Insist on toys painted with water based dyes. Those are the ones that are usually organic and non-flammable. The water-based paints are latex and milk paint.
Latex (which is really the sap of certain trees) is the binder that is used in latex paints. Binders fix the dye on the surface that was painted. In nature, the sap is not poisonous. When dried, it is not flammable. Therefore toys painted with latex are safe for babies., within normal usage.
Milk paints are even safer than latex for use on babies' toys. This type of dye has been used for hundreds of years and has begun to enjoy increasing popularity today. Specifically you expect to find milk protein, clay, lime and organic pigments in milk protein. As always, you should be sure the baby is not allergic to either latex or milk.
