10 Brain-Boosting Toys your Baby will Love

10 brain-boosting toys your baby will love

Motherly for People Toy Company

Because the best way our little ones can learn and grow is through play.

As parents, we often put a lot of pressure on ourselves to make sure our babies’ brains are developing as quickly as possible. But the irony is, for many years the best way our little ones can learn and grow is through play. In fact, research has shown that reading stories, playing simple games, and engaging with toys is one of the best ways to boost baby’s brain development for years to come.

It’s those kind of findings that fuels the work at People Toy Company, a Japanese-based toy company that believes in encouraging the natural development of children through research-backed toys. Every toy in their line is developed to make playtime engaging for parents and children alike while helping little ones achieve developmental milestones through play.

Here are 10 of our favorite toys for engaging little minds and encouraging motor development from baby’s first weeks and beyond.
