Baby Essentials 12-16 months old

Between 12 to 16 months, babies refine skills across mobility, fine motor, cognitive, language, & social-emotional areas. They begin walking, improve in hand-eye coordination, understand simple instructions, start to communicate with words, & show preferences for caregivers & toys. When choosing toys for this age, prioritize safety & select items that encourage movement (like push toys), promote problem-solving (such as simple puzzles), stimulate imagination (with dolls or playsets), enhance language (through books & musical toys), & offer sensory experiences (toys with different textures)
