These 11 Sensory Toys For Babies Are Great For Infant Development

Bright Starts Oball Shaker Rattle Toy ($4)

Rattles stimulate a baby's hearing and teach them about cause and effect. This under-$5 option from Bright Starts is designed with flexible ends that make it easy for small hands to hold, and the bright colors make it a multi-sensory toy.

"We loved this little rattle," said one parent. "It's very lightweight for baby to hold and has lots of places to grip. . . . It was one of our baby's first toys, and she still plays with it at 9 months old."
