From rolling to sitting up, crawling and walking all these significant physical developments happen in the first three years. Yes, you have heard it right. The first three years are extremely important in deciding how your baby’s early development is going to happen. Are they going to be confident or are they going to handle difficulties in life in a better way or not? All these things depend on the foundation of initial years. Although our babies don’t communicate much in the initial years with words, their receptive power is much better than us. Babies learn by observing and repeating things. You can notice by the age of 1 your baby is imitating your words and actions. Therefore, it is very important for parents to be cautious of their actions and words. Your little one is getting to know this world with the people and objects surrounding them. So, it’s always better to give them a good exposure.
I know as parents you want to protect your baby from every harm, but it’s also important to give them freedom to explore the world around them. It is through exploring, making mistakes, and learning that your baby is going to grow. However, it doesn’t mean that you are not going to take care of their safety. Providing them with the premium quality baby toys is one of the important steps that you can take. As child development experts say, playing with toys leads to the development of essential skills and helps babies to achieve developmental milestones in the first three years. The research says that parents can encourage their baby to engage in different kinds of playing activities by providing them “interesting materials that promote exploration and learning.” Playing with toys encourages babies to concentrate, think, engage, and develop holistically. From motor skill to cognitive function, development of language skills one can notice several benefits of playing among children in the first three years.
Dr. Maria Montessori has also talked about providing the age appropriate material or toys to babies. So that they can explore the toys on their own and become more confident and independent. Now the question is what is the right material or toy to give to your baby. There are so many options available in the market. If you are aware of the developmental milestones, you will know that not only physically but your baby develops mentally, emotionally and socially in the first three years. It is extremely important that we address their needs holistically and not just in bits and parts.
If you have noticed most of the brands are selling individual toys. Well, in that case you have to do your research and find out everything that your baby needs at that particular age group. In addition to that you also have to take care of materials that have been used in the toys. Exposure to toxic materials can lead to severe diseases like cancer, hormonal imbalance, ADHD, dyslexia, and autism in early childhood. Now just think about doing this whole research every other month. In this modern world where you are juggling your work and life together, we know it’s hard to do this thorough research.
But what’s the solution to this problem? You can’t give just any other toy to your baby, right? Well, there is a solution to your problem and that is Tinyvers. More than 250 child development experts like pediatricians, development psychologists, educators, social workers, pediatric neurologists, pediatric dentists, ophthalmologists, gynecologists, psychiatrists, neonatologists, and physiotherapists have come together and created toys and tools for 0-3 years old babies. There are 14 Tinyvers activity kits for different age groups and all of them include tools and toys to address the specific needs of that age. These toys and tools will not only improve their motor skills, cognitive function or language skills but help them grow holistically. From promoting creativity to developing physical abilities, empathy, and mental growth, Tinyvers has covered it all. Here’s how Tinyvers toys and tools are helping babies to grow holistically:
Cognitive function
From circle puzzle to advance shape puzzle there are various options for your baby to explore and learn as they grow up. Puzzle sets in Tinyvers Activity Kits help your baby to learn problem-solving, logical thinking, and develop their fine motor skills and cognitive function.
Did you know you can introduce puzzles to your baby as early as when they are 9 months old? See, this is why you need expert advice when it comes to making mindful choices for your baby. Introducing a puzzle coin box when your baby is 9-10 months old can help in promoting hand-eye coordination and problem solving skills. Once they are able to solve it on their own, you can then gradually move towards Two-piece puzzle or Four-piece puzzle.
There are also other toys like Nesting, stacking to help babies develop concentration and learn counting, recognize shape, color, and sizes. You can also give them colorful building blocks to promote problem solving skills, hand-eye coordination. Remember, your baby’s brain is developing more than one million nerve connection per seconds in the first three years and giving them the age appropriate tools and toys can build their foundation in a better way.
Motor Skills
If you have noticed while discussing toys helping in cognitive development, I have mentioned how those toys are also helpful in developing motor skills, hand movement, language development. This is the holistic nature of Tinyvers toys I was talking about. It not only helps in just achieving one particular developmental milestone but helps your baby grow holistically.
When it comes to the development of motor skills, child development experts have decided to keep different types of rattles, wooden puzzles, stacking toys, nesting toys to promote hand movement, hand-eye coordination and bilateral coordination. There are also toys like pulley duck and jumping set to encourage your baby to walk, jump, and eventually run around.
Language development
Maybe you still have some doubts regarding the holisticness of Tinyvers.

Flash cards are also helpful in developing the basic knowledge of the surrounding world. Along with its educational importance, Tinyvers flash cards are printed on FSC certified eco friendly paper. So, you don’t have to worry if your baby suddenly puts those flashcards in his mouth.
Social and Emotional Development
While we mostly focus on physical or mental development, now we know how important it is to develop empathy in our babies. This should start from the very beginning. You may be wondering how we can help our babies develop socially and emotionally. Well, playing with parents or playing with siblings and other kids of their age can help your baby develop socially and emotionally.
You can teach your baby about sharing and taking turns while playing with puzzles, sorting sets or building blocks. They will know how to take turns one by one. Along with this, you can also introduce books like Friendship platter and Where’s Camie to help your baby learn about friendship. There are many more developmental milestones that you can notice in the first three years. Child development experts have designed Tinyvers Activity Kits to achieve all those developmental milestones in a fun playful way.
