Toys for 6-12 Month Olds

Between six and twelve months, babies start to sit, roll, crawl and pull up, and the right toys for a 6 month old grow with every new skill. Our baby toys for 6-12 months include stacking cups, shape sorters and activity toys that invite a baby to bang, drop, fill and empty, which is exactly how early problem solving begins.

Toys for a 9 month old or 10 month old often focus on movement and cause and effect. Ride-ons, push toys and ball pits encourage crawling and cruising, and our play mats and ball pits give a soft space to practise. Our stacking toys are a favourite for building hand-eye coordination.

Each product shows its recommended starting age, and plenty of these 6-12 month toys are still loved well past the first birthday. We stock Little Dutch, Lanka Kade, Micro Scooters, Oli & Carol and Tickit, with a focus on wood and natural materials. When it is time for the next stage, explore our toys for 1 year olds.

Gifts and the Best Toys for 6 Month Old Babies

Choosing baby toys at 6 months often means thinking about what comes next. The best toys for a 6 month old grow with a baby as they learn to sit, reach and crawl, while toys for a 7 month old or 8 month old start to reward pulling, pushing and posting. Our toys for babies 6-12 months support development through simple, hands-on play, and many make thoughtful gifts for a 6 month old.
