3 to 6 Months Old and Finger Happy

Fingers can not only hold things, but they can also move them around and pass them from one hand to the other. When your baby has unclenched their tiny fists, then they’re ready for the next stage of toys. Toys for 3 to 6 month old babies are designed to help them develop their fine motor skills. They are also designed to entertain and delight babies.
