Baby toys and children's toys make great gifts for new parents and their little ones, because what tiny tot doesn't love to play? Not only is it fun for babies to play with their toys, but it should also help them to learn and grow their motor skills. There are numerous different types of toys that you can give. These make for some of the unique baby gifts that both parents and children will treasure for many years to come.

When you start to consider which unique baby toys you want to give to the new parents in your life, consider all the categories of toys that are available to choose from. These are some of the most common types of toys for babies that are available:

* Felt and Wool Toys

* Games and Activities

* Heirloom Wooden Rattles

* Organic Baby Toys

* Personalized Toys and Gifts

* Rattles and Teethers

* Small Knit Toys

* Soft Dolls and Bears

* Sock Monkey Animals & Gifts

* Wooden Toys.

For very small newborn babies, things like rattles, teethers, soft dolls, teddy bears, sock monkeys and other stuffed animals are probably the most appropriate. Babies need teethers as their little teeth slowly grow in, and rattles can mesmerize the senses of the small baby. The plush toys and stuffed animals, however, are some of the best baby toys because they are safe and cuddly for the little bundle of joy from the second they come home from the hospital or birthing center.

Organic toys make very unique baby gifts for Earth-conscious parents, and they will really appreciate that you considered their principles. When babies get a little bit older, however, they'll need things like wooden toys, games and activities. These might not be the best newborn baby gifts, but they are great for the child's first birthday or for various holiday celebrations that come up as the little tike grows a bit older. There are so many different toys, you really can't go wrong.
