In the very early stages, playing with your baby is a great way to form a bond with your child as well as a way to teach them and help them grow.
Bonding with your baby is incredibly important, with many studies highlighting how vital it is that a child form an attachment to their parent for their developmental health. Besides, you'll want to spend as much time as you can before they become teenagers and want nothing to do with you except borrow money.
From classic toys like the seesaw, to more modern tech toys like 'Toymail,' these toys will help your child to form attachments through play, with you and other children. Some of these toys even help kids with autism to better understand emotion, further highlighting the important effects playing with your baby can have.
