Baby stacking toys are one of the most popular developmental toys in the market. These include stacking rigs, dishes and similar toys. Stacking rings help the baby in learning more than one thing at a time, are fun to play as well, therefore these should top the list of every parents' list for plush baby toys.

Before setting in for a particular baby stacking toy, make sure to look for a few things in particular. They should be playable at various levels of difficult and the rings should be distinct in color, with at least five rings in the set. Such an arrangement would enable you to guarantee the fact that the stacking toy is indeed an exercise for your baby's brain as well.

Baby stacking toys come in different shapes and material, with plastic and wood topping the list. Plastic stacking toys are the most common and are easily available at your local store. Wooden toys are more hygienic and safe to use, but the use of wood might limit the range of colors used.

Who doesn't want his or her baby to be a prodigy like Einstein? If not Einstein, some toys ranges which are affectionately called "baby Einstein toys", do promise that your child's brain develops to an optimum level at least. From the helpless toddler to an inquisitive one year old, educational toys play a rather important role in shaping your child's thought process.

Apart from stacking games, toys containing non-destructive mirrors of different colors and sizes can be fun for your one year old. Growing children always love to see themselves in the mirror. It is not only a fun activity; rather it is an important aspect of self realization. Such activities also increase your child's hand-eye coordination and are important from the point of view of mental stability.

Squeeze plush toys are also very important for the developmental growth of your toddler. These makes a squeaking sound when they are squeezed, and therefore, stimulate the sense of hearing of your toddler. Such toys can play an important role in honing your baby's problem solving skills. You can hide a number of squeeze toys and ask your baby to find them in a given period of time. This would teach him to act under pressure and sharpen his mental acumen.

Cars, trucks and toys depicting vehicles can also be great for your child's learning abilities. Just make sure that there are no choking hazards involved with these and that there are no loose parts or pointed edges. Such toys can help your child's memorizing and recalling abilities when he sees an actual car or truck similar to his toy, on the road. Plush, soft balls of different sizes and colors also help in motorizing your baby's skills. Play handball or softball with your baby to develop his coordination with the ball and moving objects. Educational cardboard games, building blocks and charts depicting colors, fruits, vegetables, animals and flags of various countries can also be added as and when you think that your baby's learning abilities are improving and the level of external stimulus needs to be increased.
