In the first few months after birth, babies discover their world primarily through their senses. They respond to sounds, sights, and movements, and slowly begin to notice color contrasts. Because their vision is still poorly developed, they are primarily fascinated by simple shapes and strong contrasts, such as black-and-white patterns. They explore objects with their hands and mouth—touch, taste, and hearing are central.

Our top 5 gifts for the little ones;

1. Hug
   A cuddly toy offers a baby emotional security and comfort, helps them calm themselves, and promotes social and emotional development. It's a familiar object that contributes to a sense of security and the foundational skills for later social interactions.
   Gift tip: Moonie - The Humming Bear/ Bunny/Seal, Mini Moonie - Sensory little teddy
   
2. Black and white viewing cards or booklet
   Until about three months old, babies can only distinguish black-and-white contrast and large shapes. Black-and-white picture cards or contrast books stimulate visual development and concentration. You'll be amazed at how attentively your baby looks at the patterns.

3. Teething ring
   During the first year of life, babies explore their environment through their mouths. Chewing on a teething ring trains their mouth and jaw muscles. Grasping and holding the teething ring also stimulates motor skills and hand-eye coordination.

4. Rattle - grasping toy
   A rattle helps develop motor skills. The sound attracts attention, helping babies learn to focus and develop their hearing. Grasping, shaking, and feeling the rattle promotes the grasping reflex and helps them understand that their actions have an effect—a key step in cognitive development.

5. Soft sensory cloth or play silk
   Babies love exploring different textures. A soft, light cloth or play silk stimulates their sense of touch and encourages them to feel, grasp, and explore. It's also ideal during tummy time or as a cozy cuddle blanket.
