New baby gym toys make your baby's play arch exciting all over again. You hang them on the arch of a baby gym or activity gym, and your little one can look, reach and grab. At Tiny Giggles you will find separate baby gym toys by Jollein and Franck & Fischer, made of soft cotton with sweet animal figures.
Babies quickly get used to what they see every day. After a few weeks the toys on the play arch are no longer so new, and your little one loses interest sooner. By hanging different toys from time to time, the baby gym stays inviting. New colours, shapes and sounds stimulate the senses again and challenge your baby to reach and grab. Separate toys are also handy if you have a play arch without toys, or if you want to dress up a wooden arch in your own style.
The Jollein Babygym Toys Animal Club is a set of 3 soft toys in pink, rust and blue. The outside is cotton and the filling is 100% polyester. The calm colours suit the Jollein style and a nursery in soft shades. With three toys at once you can spread them nicely over the play arch, or hang one or two at a time and swap them around.
The Franck & Fischer activity toy Filippa Swan is about 23 cm high, including the strap and hangers. The fabric is 100% certified organic cotton, printed with eco-friendly dyes, and the filling is made of corn fibre. There is crinkle paper in the wings, and the hangers have a mirror and a rattle. So there are sounds, materials and their own reflection to discover. The toy is CE tested, suitable from birth, washable at 40 degrees on a delicate cycle and must not be tumble dried.
Hang the toys so your baby can see them and, as they get a little older, touch them. For a newborn, hang them slightly higher and more to the side, so your little one can follow the colours and movements with their eyes. Around 3 months your baby starts reaching on purpose and batting at the toys. Then hang them a bit lower, within reach. Vary the position too: left, right and in the middle, so your baby looks both ways and uses both hands.
These toys are more than decoration. By looking at the figures your baby practises following with their eyes. By reaching and grabbing they practise hand-eye coordination. A mirror makes them curious about their own face, and crinkle paper and a rattle show that a movement makes a sound. Put your little one on their tummy under the baby gym now and then too, with a toy just in front of their face. That makes tummy time a lot more fun. Play together: name the animals and colours, and let your baby explore at their own pace.
You don't have to keep buying new toys to keep it exciting. Put a few toys away for a while and hang them up again after a week or two: to your baby they will feel almost new. Combine soft and crinkly materials, and calm colours with a toy with a mirror. Watch how your little one reacts. If they look at a certain figure for a long time, leave it up a little longer. If your baby gets overstimulated quickly, hang fewer at once. A calm arch with one or two toys is often enough.
These toys are made to hang on a play arch. If you also want something for the pushchair or car seat, choose special stroller toys with a safe attachment. Don't hang toys in or above the cot while your baby sleeps. A toy your baby holds in their hands, such as a rattle or teether, is a lovely addition for the moments away from the baby gym.
Always supervise your baby under the baby gym. Before each use, check that the toys are securely attached and that there are no loose seams, threads or damage. Replace a toy if it is damaged. Don't hang the toys so low that cords or straps can reach your baby's face or neck, and remove the play arch as soon as your baby tries to pull up on it. Don't let your little one sleep under the baby gym.
Toys like these often end up in the mouth, so clean them regularly. Wash Filippa Swan at 40 degrees on a delicate cycle, and don't tumble dry it. For the Jollein toys, always follow the care label. Let the toys dry well before hanging them up again. With a second set of toys you always have something clean to hang up while the others are in the wash.
Separate arch toys are an affordable and original newborn gift, especially if the parents already have a play arch. Combine them with a play mat for a complete present. You will find more ideas under gifts. We are happy to gift-wrap your present.
