Baby musical toys

Baby musical toys are handy multi-purpose additions to your child's collection. Use them during the day to make playtime more exciting. They're also perfect for coaxing your little one to sleep at night. If bedtime can be tricky, nightlights are ideal for children who aren't so keen on the dark. Choose one that projects images onto the walls to provide a distraction and help them switch off.

Playtime is important for babies' development. It's good to give them some variety in baby toys, so they're constantly discovering new things. A baby bouncer or baby gym with lots of different buttons and sounds will keep them occupied for hours. Best of all, it'll keep your own hands free, leaving you to get on with other things. Snuggly soft toys make perfect presents for special occasions. Choose from giant teddies to keep in the nursery, or smaller toys like Beanie Boos that accompany your little tot on days out.

It won’t be long before they’re in school and learning to play proper instruments. Many start on the recorder and go on to the flute, clarinet or saxophone.
