Baby Toys in Malta — Safe, Stimulating & Developmental

Choosing toys for babies and very young toddlers is one of the most important toy-buying decisions a parent makes. The right toys support critical developmental milestones — sensory processing, motor development, language acquisition, cause-and-effect understanding and early social skills. At Juniors Toyshop Malta, our baby range is carefully curated to be both safe and genuinely developmental.

All our baby toys meet European EN71 safety standards. We always recommend checking the age label and avoiding small parts for children under 3, particularly important for households with older siblings.

Newborn Toys (0–6 Months)

Newborns experience the world primarily through sight, sound and touch. Toys at this stage should offer:

• High-contrast soft books & cards — black/white/red patterns are most visible to newborns
• Soft rattles — gentle sound stimulus, easy to grip
• Mobile cot toys — hanging toys that encourage tracking and reaching
• Soft plush toys — comfort objects and tactile stimulation
• Musical soothers — white noise, lullabies, heartbeat sounds for sleep

Baby Toys Ages 6–12 Months

From 6 months, babies begin sitting, reaching, grasping and exploring with their mouths. Toy selection expands significantly:

• Activity centres & gyms — tummy time mats, play gyms with hanging toys
• Teethers — safe, BPA-free chewable toys in various textures
• Stacking rings & cups — classic first building toys
• Push-along walkers — support early standing and walking
• Bath toys — squeezy animals, pour cups, floating toys
• Soft blocks — Clementoni Clemmy soft blocks are perfect at this age

Toddler Toys Ages 12–24 Months

The second year of life is one of explosive development. Walking, early talking, increased coordination and the beginning of symbolic play. Toys that support this include:

• Shape sorters — introduce shapes, colours and problem-solving
• First puzzles — 2–6 piece wooden or foam puzzles with knobs
• Ride-on push toys — develop balance and coordination
• Simple play kitchens & tool sets — imaginative role-play begins here
• LEGO Duplo — safe, oversized bricks for earliest building
• Playmobil 1.2.3 — chunky figures and sets designed for toddlers
• Musical instruments — drums, xylophones, maracas

Baby Toy Safety in Malta

In Malta, where it’s common for babies to be cared for by grandparents or other family members, ensuring all caregivers understand toy age ratings is important. We recommend checking the CE mark, the choking hazard warnings, and ensuring all battery-operated toys have secure battery compartments. Our toy safety guide provides more detail.
