Toys that will be good for your little one would be the ones that encourage hands on, lights and colorful shapes. Also the toys that encourage play while sitting up or if your baby is still not able to sit a lot of tummy time toys will help or a swing (parental supervision required). It is important to have your baby playing in different positions so they are not just always on their back.
