20 Best Learning Toys For Infants (2023 Updated)

My little granddaughter loves this little learning toy! Its great. Her eyes light up every time she sees it!

My grand baby is now 4 months old. She stares at this as if she really understands. I guess that means she likes it. When she was crying we gave it to her

My 12 month old granddaughter loves it. It moves very fast and she chases it. Shes learning to walk, this little duck is a great teacher.

I ordered this about one week or more ago, this “Beep-Beep & Play with Honking, Flashing, Musical Activity Toy” is a must have for 9 months or more for babies & toddlers. I can vision my friend’s grandson who is 22 months old is a slight bigger than baby’s normal size will fit in this neato car.

There is an opening flap underneath the car for his legs. The quality of this car is well-made came with the clear plastic bag as a storage. I cannot wait to invite them over so he can go for a imaginary road trip.

Oh, by the way, I saved about $42. 00 on this product compared with other store’s retail price is $107. 99.

This toy is amazing! My mom has it at her house and it has been phenomenal for my son. He has Trisomy 21 ( Down Syndrome) and the soft sides of the car provide just the right amount support to strengthen his abdominal muscles.

All of the toys really engage his interest and I don’t have to worry about him hurting himself. In just 2 weeks he has made so much progress. If your child is typically developing, 9 months is likely too old for this but it’s perfect for an emerging sitter.

I can’t wait to by one for our own playroom.

Thankfully I got this as a hand me down. Not worth $85. My son is 10 months and beyond this toy. He doesn’t want to sit still in it. He crawls all over and is standing and moving. Sitting still is not his thing.

This car was great for him up to 9 months as it did help him learn to sit up. So for that I’m happy I had it but now it’s just collecting dust. So 4-9 months or depends on when you child is crawling and roaming everywhere.

But still not worth the money.

Very cute toy per website. The little red nose was a issue for me to give this to my grandson. The nose was very losly made and the material was made of a red fringy/stringy material. The fabric pulled off from the nose which would go into the baby’s mouth.

I did not feel it was safe. Seems the nose would have been made of a safer fabric.

An infant will crawl over a pile of toys to reach a whoozit! My oldest son, now25, had a pooh bear which he left in his bed. My younger son, now 22, carried his big whoozit everywhere he went like Linus with his blanket.

Whoozit now lies stored in a place of honor for his child to come. This toy is incredibly sturdy and will make all infants grin and reach for it. Now I buy them for nieces and nephews–the result is always the same–babies love whoozit!.

This is my favorite gift for babies! I’ve given it to so many friends for their little ones and every kiddo has really enjoyed playing with it during the first couple of years of their life. A total winner for a newborn.

My 18mo son finds this toy pretty interesting. Frustration is part of the process for kids with a new toy, especially if it’s meant to develop a motor skill or has a puzzle-like aspect to it. I think as my son has gotten used to the Oombee Ball, he “gets” it, but there might be some room for improvement.

The way the nesting balls are connected with a cord is a cool concept. The cord seems a little short. The individual layers don’t really stay together readily when the child puts the two halves together.

Sometimes the cord gets in the way, but there just kind of isn’t a satisfying closure when the two halves are pressed together. The material isn’t unpleasant, but it’s a sort of thin plastic, and because the toy flops around during play, it makes for some high pitched plasticky clinking noises.

Based on the product images, I had originally thought that the outer part of each layer was silicone or a similar soft material. I wonder if that might have been a nicer material choice. (.

My daughter was pretty dismissive of this toys when she first got it probably because she was a bit too young for it. She’s 10 months old and still likes to just mouth things and drag them around. However, after a couple of days she can take the toy apart and it will keep her interest for several minutes.

I think she will grow into it so I foresee her playing with this toy for many more months. It’s very sturdily designed and attractive. I’m happy with my purchase.

This is a really cute toy that has so much to do! I love that it has different levels of interaction as the child grows. It has the great Fisher Price 3 levels of smart stage play so you can choose which level your child responds to best.

My child is 2 and enjoys chasing after the toy and pushing the buttons. There are also features and noise makers if your child is not moving around yet. The bot’s hands twist and make a clicking sound, the “ears” can twist or flip.

Then there are balls that are bright and colorful and pop and bounce around, activating music too. The antenna on the head pushes down and makes the eyes move too. There is lots of music and activity with the buttons and then this toy is mobile too!! So neat, it has kept my child interested for a long time.

Even my 5 year old is intrigued by building the bot. Yes, you can even separate the head, body and wheel section for individual play or put it all together as a full robot. My 2 year old can easily take it apart and put it together already.

We have had a lot of fun playing with this toy so far!.

The features to this toy are very limited, in my opinion, ESPECIALLY for that price point. There are 3 pieces. The head has a single button that allows the eyes to move back and forth. One ear is a gear that turns manually and the other just folds up and down to show a sad or happy face.

The torso has yet another button that shakes the balls inside and its arms can be twisted around in a circle. Lastly, the bottom part merely has flashing lights and buttons. Aside from that, the forward and back movements are entirely random and they’re provoked when pressing one of the few buttons.

My little one doesn’t care too much for the songs, although it does seem to have a good variety of those. In all, she was more scared than anything due to the fact that its movements are so abrupt and unpredictable.

It’s cute, but I would go with something else, this was just too plain simple.

I am a little late on reviewing this because I wanted to see the full functionality of the toy. I got this for my son a year ago for his birthday. He absolutely loves toys that spin so this was a great gift.

The battery life is amazing on this toy. We have only needed to change them one time since we bought the toy. My son love’s this still and he is 3 1/2. He loves that it spins first and for most but he also loves his abc’s and learning different things so this was a perfect gift for him.

He spins it and sings every song with it. It has taken a few beatings through this past year and it still has held up to all that. It was made very well and can most definitely take a throw from any toddler.

I recommend this toy for every toddler.

1 year old drives me crazy with this. But he enjoys it so can’t complain. We got as a first bday present. He spins and spins it even when he walks away it talks “spin to pick a letter” and once he hears it he walks right back to it.

The 3 different features on the toy make it better to switch up the songs and type of learning it does. Animal noises and lights keep him interested. The “spin spin a letter” song is his favorite. Although in the picture the baby is sitting and playing with the toy my son has yet to sit and play.

It’s light enough for him to carry around the house. And he takes it in every room he goes in.

I bought this because one of my twins loves to watch the wheel being spun on The Price Is Right. I want surprised when he loved to spin this. There are different settings, the songs are cute, and this toy is pretty heavy and durable.

One of my babies likes to pick it up and throw it and it still looks and operates like it’s new. We’ve had this for about two months and my twin eleven month olds still play with this every day.

We got this for our three kids (ages 5, 2, and 1). I had high hopes since we already have the moose and sloth from the Linkimals collection. I was hoping for more singing, but it mostly counts and that’s it.

The other two are more interactive and sing together, this one doesn’t really sing along. It mostly lights up when the others do. If you are picking between any of them, get the sloth! And if you want them to interact, the moose is a great addition!.

We love this toy! From the very start of this toy I was impressed. Super easy open packaging and an added bonus of only 3 bits of plastic. It’s made great wipeable material with a soft fabric crinkle ear for extra sensory activity.

There is a switch on the back of the koala which allows you to turn the toy on and it also adjusts the volume so you can have it on 2 sound settings. The switch is slightly set in a dip so it’s not obvious to the child so they don’t play with it! As soon as you turn the koala on its belly and number tree come to life and wow, super, sharp, bright lights! On the tree are numbered buttons 1-10.

These buttons are perfect size for little fingers, easy to push and all different colours. When you press on of the number buttons, the button and tummy light up and a voice is activated. It tells you the number you have pressed and it can play a tune to match the number.

Eg number 1 would be just 1 sound beat, number 8 would be 8 sound beats. The beats create a little beat tune that my daughter loved to copy and bounce too. One of my favourite parts of this toy is how clear the voice is.

It is a VERY clear voice and is easy to understand. At the top of the tree is rotating wheel with 3 shapes cut into it and you can see a wheel of colours behind the shapes. When you turn the wheel the koala starts to sing and the belly shines with a rotation of colours.

There are multi songs so it doesn’t become repetitive. On the hand of the koala is a clear faced and green backed ball with mulitcoloured small balls inside it that spin and rattles so it really is great for multiple ages.

I love that this toy is fun and educational and my children keep going back to play with it. It interacts with other toys from the same brand line but unfortunately I haven’t got one of these toys but I am intrested is seeing them connect so I may buy another product and see them connect together.

I would definitely recommend this product and I am actually going to buy one as a gift for my friends child! 5* product! Great learning and sensory toy.

I love these linkimals! I think I like them more than my 7 month old. She loves these even though she doesn’t know to press the buttons yet, but she loves their singing, which I have to press it for her, lol.

These are such cute toy animals I just had to buy her some. I bought 3 and my brother bought her 2 for Christmas. Remember to read the manual that comes with these. I threw them away and when they wouldn’t link, I didn’t know what happened.

I decided to see what those little black, tiny buttons were that they each had. Just have them all together and press the little, tiny black button on the bottom or back or wherever it’s located at on them one after another.

They’ll say their animal name and then they should be linked together then. Highly recommend!.

Bought it for my baby but his older brothers love playing with it too. Very engaging tactile toy that’s good for chewing and clumsy hands.

Each part of this toy has a different color, texture, and movement. Not to mention it is all silicone for chewers. A hit at our house.

Love this toy! My kiddo got this for 1st bday and is still playing with it over a year later. We now buy for our friends.

I ordered the Melissa and Doug flip fish, but this showed up in its place. I had briefly considered this item before deciding on the fish so figured maybe it was the universe trying to tell me something and I decided to keep it.

It has cute animal pictures on it and some sensory stuff like a mirror and crinkle petals, but the sounds are just bizarre. Each animal has a song that plays with the animal sound overlapping but the choices are just really weird.

The songs are strange and the animal sounds aren’t very good quality. With Melissa and Doug having a reputation for educational toys I expected more, perhaps the names of the animals or some numbers or something but nope.

I think another commenter mentioned it but the sheep song and sound is downright creepy. Also, it isn’t particularly well made. The battery pack inside is made from super cheap plastic, and the buttons to press on each side are very small and seem like they would require toddler level fine motor skills on a toy meant to appeal to babies.

My daughter is only 4 months old and has just begun to reach for things so I can’t really speak to if this appeals to babies, but as a parent I am underwhelmed. I really wish I had just returned it for credit to order the item I wanted (and I did get the fish from a different retailer, it’s great! I recommend).

This gift is mire than a toy. Works on baby’s fine Toy works on Fine Motor skills as well as Large Motor skills. Since it has large and small Items to grab. Also on Hand eye coordination. Never gets bored from all the options.

Love this.

What a great gift for my one year old Grandson and he loves all the the things he can play with on this VTech Turn and Learn Driver. He has so much fun with all the bright colored buttons that show him different animals and types of transportation.

The on and off button resembles turning a key to start a car, makes a little noise like the engine is staring and coming to life! The steering wheel turns left and right. It has a turn signal lever that makes sounds, and a shifter.

3 different sound settings, with car noises, or music, and learning words. This has entertained him for hours on end, we enjoy watching him play with this as it has developmental benefits to it! Highly recommended!.

Both my 9-year-old and 13-month-old sons have played this Vtech musical toy since they could sit up. This toy really motivates them to manipulate their fingers, two hands to play the toy. They can also learn niumbers, colors, shapes, the meaning of traffic lights and how to use the steering wheels on it.

Above all, this Vtech toy can keep my boys busy in their car seat while I am driving. They all love spend time discovering this protocol driving set. My kids and I love this toy so much. I recommend that all parents should buy one for our kids.

It is worth investigating!.

I like #Vtech toys for kids. I just purchased this #Vtech turn and learn toy for my granddaughter River. She loves any toy that makes noise and she can move with it. All of the #VTech toys I’ve purchased have been good and my grandkids have been curious enough to play with all of the ones I’ve picked.

These toys are always played with when the kids are around, which makes me feel like I’ve spent my money wisely. If your looking for toys your kids or grandkids can play with and learn as they play I would recommend purchasing #VTech toys.

My son loves his linkimals. We have the sloth, hedgehog, llama, koala, otter. He sings dances with them plays with them daily. My complaints are: they become unsynced at times, so one character won’t sing with the rest.

But turning them on and off is an easy solution. I also dislike how quickly they go through batteries, because if you’re using one, you’re using them all. Overall I’m very happy with having these and my son is too.

Fair warning, if your a parent who dislikes noise, these are not for you. You could bump one the whole lot of them will starry singing lol.

We have all the linkamals! My son loves that they interact and sing together. I love that they are cute and not too expensive. I don’t get annoyed with them either, which is really nice haha! The otter is super cute! It’s got lights, songs, a ball to spin and every letter has a corresponding word and sound.

This one is definitely the most advanced of the linkamals though and is better for ages 2+. The moose is really fun and super simple with just one button to operate it. It’s also super affordable. The llama is probably my son’s favourite! He loves the stacking rings.

The sloth is awesome but ours no longer works, which is why as a whole I give the linkamals 4/5 stars. It may be because my son would try to hold the sloths arms still while it was moving but honestly, I’m not sure if that’s why it stopped working.

It was really fun though with tons of songs and sounds. The hedgehog is cute and does many things. My son likes pulling it around. The koala is great for shapes and numbers. The panda is adorable and teaches manners which is great! I find it the most difficult to operate though.

It doesn’t always work when you push on it and sometimes takes a few tries. Overall these are such a great, innovative group of toys and they do so many things!.

I bought my son the sloth his first Christmas. He was way too little to play with it then (4 months old) but even at that age he loved the music and flashing lights. I had used a gift card he got the same year to get the Moose and a few months later those were some of his favorite toys! He’s almost 2 now and has almost all of them and plays with them every day! They also have taken a beating and we’ve had no issues with them not working.

The sloth in particular is very well built. He has flung it around and carried it by just 1 arm and much to our surprise hasn’t broke. I highly recommend these!.

Wonderful smart toy that I have bought several times for my own grandbaby and for gifts. Well made and keeps the little one interested from infant to toddler. Highly recommend.

The cube is good quality, brightly coloured and comes apart so the child can play with each individual piece if required or can be configured in different ways. My grandson loves it. The only issue I have is that one of the keys on the keyboard keeps sticking.

As this defect has occurred more than 2 months after I purchased it the company is not interested even though the product has developed a fault. This is why I have only given 3 stars.

It only took two days after ordered to get here thank you! My daughter loves this toy it has different sections where she can play on it. You can also make it shape you want and it stays together good.

I would recommend to others!.

My 3 year old has them all and still loves them. She received the sloth when she was 1 and it was and is the best thing ever. All of the linkimals are highly durable and educational. There were many times I thought it would stop working for how rough she was with them when she was younger though they still all work like they are brand new 2 years later! I have bought linkimals a for baby shower gifts many times and alway recommend when someone is looking for a toy for their little one!.

First off I would like to say that I believe the suggested age group for this toy is a little high. My daughter is three and she showed hardly any interest in this toy. However, I personally thought that the toy was awesome, but for a younger crowd.

If I had a child that was learning to crawl this would be a number one purchase as it is able to roll away and you can go after it as well as having multiple learning options and lots of fun sounds. Overall, I think this is a great product and toy to buy if you have a child between the ages of six months to in my opinion maybe 1 year and a half, maybe two years.

Nice toy, lots of lights and sounds, the chick on top is super cute. Its taken a couple of hard falls from my kids dropping it but it still works fine, so definitely durable. I do wish it had slightly more to hold on to than the little ribbons, as it it clunky and hard for my crawler to catch.

He goes after it, but is disappointed when he can’t really ‘catch it’. 🙂 Overall, nice toy, good price. The product has been provided by VTech free of charge so I could experience it with my family; however, the thoughts and opinions are all my own.

My daughter loves this toy! Such fun to learn animal noises and names along with fun music. Man, this toy really moves too. It goes on forever and goes everywhere. It rolls on carpet, rugs, wood and tile! I’m super impressed with it and think this is a must have for babies in any stage of movement.

This Baby Einstein kit is awesome! The Baby’s First First Shapes and Senses Teacher Developmental Toy Kit includes 5 items. There’s a plush octopus that requires 2 AA batteries and it’s head plays musical songs while the tentacles function as a nappy.

There’s also a wooden puzzle cube that your little can take pieces off to discover colorful images. I really liked this educational toy as a tether is attached to the cube so that we don’t end up with missing pieces later on.

A spinner table top sphere is also included and is super cool as it has a suction cup attached to it. The sphere is made of silicone, spins and works as a rattle. There’s also a set of flash cards of various colorful and vibrant images attached to a ring.

The images teach colors, shapes, numbers and animals. These flash cards are made of plastic vinyl and are durable and baby friendly. There’s also a small hardback book. It’s easy to handle for a one year old and he mimicked reading to me albeit upside down.

I really like the variety of gender neutral educational toys that works for all little ones newborns and up. Overall, I highly recommend as this kit is an awesome choice for gifting to new parents.

Baby Einstein’s First Shapes and Senses Developmental Toy Kit is a hit in my household! Both of my daughters, and infant and a toddler, love playing with each of the items. The shapes on a ring are great for stationary use like in a car seat or in a high chair.

The suction cup ball toy is perfect for sticking to a walker or table or high chair as well. My toddler loves the puzzle cube and the board book, and both of my girls love the octopus lovey. This sensory box would make the perfect gift for a baby shower or a first birthday.

It would be the perfect item to add to a baby registry as well. I highly recommend this developmental toy kit from Baby Einstein.

I am so happy we got this kit for our baby boy. Each toy was designed to encourage play and build curiosity in babies. My son sits and plays with the shape cube and it helps him build motor skills as he grasps each shape.

We take it on the go in the car along with the plush toy to keep him entertained. The book is cute to encourage his eyes to wonder each page and he loves turning each page. The flip book is perfect for little hands and we bond as we go over it.

The spinner has a great suction that sticks to his high chair tray and he enjoys playing with it during snack time. I really like how each toy was designed for babies development and growth!.

Bought this for my grandson’s first birthday. He loved it from the second he opened it! Has not stopped playing with it. Great toy!

I don’t personally enjoy toys that make noise however it offers educational benefits that far outweigh the negatives. The kids all want one for Christmas this year. The voice to me is a little on the annoying side.

I recommend that the tone be balanced more. It introduces multitasking on a small scale by finding items on the tail and counting along. It has not broken yet. I have a large breed puppy that loves to chew anything in his reach.

I bought this little beaver to go with the other Linkimal’s I have bought my grandson. He is just amazed when he plays with this one or any other Linkimal, that they all turn on and start talking. Fisher-Price made a great product with these! The beaver’s tail goes back and forth when you push his head down.

This product has been great for my nearly 1 year old as it draws his attention and keeps him interested for a longer length of time. He loves dancing along to the music. We particularly love how this works along with other Linkimal products.

The music is catchy and not only does my youngest love it but my older children really enjoy it as well. I would highly recommend this product as its very interactive and intriguing for my little one.

I can’t say I would recommend this because the little balls can’t easily be cleaned, and my little grandson would rather have something he could chew on. I love toys for my 9 month grandbaby that I put in my dishwasher.

Everything tends to go in his mouth so it has to be super clean. You can’t really clean this toy. The little balls roll really well, but they are very hard and when he throws them there is no bounce so he loses interest very quickly.

Just my opinion.

My Great-granddaughter is five months old and she wasn’t particularly interested in toys, but she. took right to these balls. She is just beginning to hold objects and they are just the right size for her little hands.

I would absolutely recommend these balls.

If seeing these in the store I would NEVER pay the $19 list price. They are a lot smaller than they appear in the images online (especially the the pic where the baby is holding a ball). I purchased them to donate at Christmas time so I was a little disappointed that what should be is a $20 gift, but looks more like a less than $10 after-thought, even with the “Baby Einstein” label.

I purchased this in an effort to “play” with my 4 week old, trying to create wake windows for a sleep baby. The toy has been her favorite for a long time. At 4 weeks we just bounced it around and made noises and lightly touched her with the fluffy tail.

At 6. 5 months she rattles it and hugs it and loves all the character noises we make. Highly recommend as a baby’s first toy to grow with!.
