Yeah, the sad fact of baby toys is that they are fundamentally selling to the adults, not to the tots.
The tot phase is pretty fast, so parents don't really seem to get a feel for what is a "good" baby toy in time.
I really wish there would be more general study of this rather than being at the mercy of a sales market that fundamentally doesn't have the baby in mind, mostly just the parents buying the stuff.
But then again, "learning acceleration" in babies is probably bunk anyway.
- t0mas88 5y agoMy mother is a developmental psychologist specialised in babies / toddlers. According to her most research showed that behavior of the parents was a far far bigger factor in the speed of development. And on the toys side of things that it's mostly about allowing for creativity in play, meaning kids want to invent their own game with whatever you give them. Simple wooden building blocks or a stack of cups that fit in each other already allow for that for early age, no need for more advanced toys / battery driven things.
