Toy Phone Buying Guide
A telephone for children should be comfortable to grip so that they can try everything safely.
It also stimulates the imagination, social contact and also improves your little one's fine motor skills. By playing and imitating, your child discovers the whole world around him!
Especially by imitating your actions, your little one learns a lot; After all, you are the one who spends a lot of time with him or her!
Watch out; Newborn babies hear very intensively. Therefore, do not expose them to very loud noises.
Most toys take this into account (if you buy something that is made for their age), so choose a toy, or a phone, that is suitable for the age of your child.
Stimuli and sounds ensure that babies' hearing develops well, toys with sound are fine, but make sure that the volume remains modest.
