Music for Babies
Is it a myth or a must? You may have heard that Mozart in utero is essential to healthy brain development, and Baby Einstein on repeat will produce an intellectually advanced toddler. But is music for babies really a thing? Exposing babies and toddlers to music might not necessarily be intelligence-inducing, but it definitely has its benefits for both parents and babies. Here’s what the science really says! Music in utero From around 20 weeks into pregnancy, your baby’s ears start functioning – taking in all the familiar and soothing sounds of the womb and the outside world. That might be mum’s favourite music, the sound of her voice or the constant drum of her heartbeat. So, if classical music isn’t your thing, do you need to suffer through it in the later stages of pregnancy to produce a high IQ human? The jury is out on the intellectual impact of womb-tunes, but listening to music with your unborn babe can be a nice way to schedule some regular time to unwind and bond over your favourite melodies. As a bonus, using this time to de-stress gives you a valid excuse to belt out your greatest hits in the shower. If it makes you feel good, chances are your baby will love it too. While it might be tempting to share an earphone with your belly buddy, playing music through your stereo is a much better option. Amniotic fluid acts as a conductor and can make an earphone too loud for tiny ears. If you’re happy and you know it… We all know that music has the magical ability to transform your mood, and it can do the same for babies and toddlers. Even when they’re little, babies sway or bounce to the beat and can be calmed down with their favourite songs. Using the mood-altering magic of music can also be a helpful way to set up routines for babies and get toddlers on board with chores. Upbeat numbers can get things started in the morning, and special bedtime songs signal to toddlers it’s time to wind down and get ready for sleep. Similarly, music can make chores fun. Rather than asking toddlers to tidy up at the end of the day, take a leaf out of the childcare professionals’ books and learn a ‘clean up’ song – less nagging, more dancing! Learning through music Exposing babies and toddlers to music during their early years helps with learning sounds and the meanings of words. Songs like ‘Heads, shoulders, knees and toes’ expand their vocabularies and coordination, while singing the ABCs teaches sounds and early literacy. On the maths front, popular nursery rhymes are full of repetition, a great way for young brains to learn about patterns and what comes next. Lots of nursery rhymes also include numbers – it’s practically maths for babies! Getting physical Getting their tiny groove on helps toddlers build key motor skills like jumping, balancing and clapping. Body and mind work together as they move to the beat. Spatial awareness and social skills are also learnt through movements like dancing – avoiding bumps and noticing how other toddlers move in group settings. Music for bonding Life as a new parent can be all go, so it’s nice to schedule some regular bonding time and fun with music. If you feel lacking in the creative department, check out what’s on offer at your local library or church – many offer preschool music sessions which double as a great (and easy) opportunity for new mums to escape the house. Ears and imaginations Is there anything better than a toddler who is good at listening? Music cues toddlers to move and react, a great way to develop early listening skills. Similarly, songs that call for them to stomp like a dinosaur or snap like a crocodile sharpen their ability to listen and exercise their creative brains. The best musical instruments for your mini maestro Music doesn’t need to be expensive and can easily cost nothing. Aside from singing (free), other beats like clapping, clicking fingers or stomping are easy (and also free) ways to create music at home. Once you’ve exhausted those, there are plenty of things around the home that can make a serious sound – a good old wooden spoon and pot, or clanging two pot lids together. Looking for something slightly more tuneful? The best instruments for little fingers are things that can be hit or shaken. Think soft rattles for babies, simple wooden drums, maracas or xylophones. Music to your ears The good news is, there’s no real evidence that one type of music is better for your baby’s development than another – but there is evidence that music is a good thing overall. All that really matters is that you’re having fun and enjoying music with your little one. Because if you’re happy (and you know it), chances are your baby will be happy too!

Toys for Every Age & Stage
Choosing Toys or Gifts They'll Love What might look like messy play or mindless rattling is actually serious business for your baby. From day one, they’re learning through movement, touch, sound, and – yes – smearing food on every available surface. Play is how your little one makes sense of the world, so choosing toys that match their stage of development can really help them thrive. Here’s a simple guide to what kinds of toys to look out for during each phase of your baby’s exciting journey. 0–6 Months: The First Explorer Your newborn may be tiny and still figuring out the basics, but their brain is already hard at work. Even in the early days, babies can recognise voices and slowly begin to track faces (though not quite in focus at first). At this stage, look for toys with high-contrast patterns and simple shapes – a mobile over the cot is ideal for visual stimulation and encouraging early motor skills as they start to reach out. A fun activity gym is amazing for development and early hand eye coordination as well. Suckling is another important reflex to support, so having safe teething toys can help build strength in their mouth muscles – which later supports chewing and speech. We stock a super fun range of teething toys at Dimples. Babies also love the sound of your voice, so don’t hesitate to chat away, sing, or start reading aloud. Soft crinkly activity books are a great addition as they are very visually interesting to your little one, as well as a high contrast board book. 6–12 Months: The Little Scientist As your baby gets stronger, tummy time becomes key for building neck and upper body strength. Use an engaging play mat to make tummy time fun and motivating. Around six months, proper teething often begins, so toys they can safely chew are your best friends – easing discomfort while supporting oral development. At this stage, babies are all about discovery – they’re working on sitting up, crawling, grasping, and even pulling themselves to stand. Toys that support these physical leaps are ideal. Look for soft balls to encourage rolling and crawling, stacking toys for building early coordination, and activity cubes or busy boards with things to twist, slide, and push. Toys that respond with sound or light when touched can also be hugely exciting (and educational), helping babies connect cause and effect. And don’t forget the classics – things that crinkle, rattle, or squeak are still crowd-pleasers and support sensory development beautifully. 12–18 Months: The Creative Genius You’ve made it through the first year – what a milestone! At this age, many little ones are eager to master walking. A sturdy walker toy can support their balance and leg strength as they wobble around with pride. Fine motor skills also start taking centre stage. Now that your little one is on the move and growing more curious by the day, toys that support exploration, movement, and problem-solving are ideal. Push-and-pull toys like the classic Buzzy Bee or a cute pull along toy are perfect for developing balance and coordination as they become more confident on their feet. Large building blocks or stacking rings help improve fine motor skills and spatial awareness. This is also a great age for toys that encourage interest in pretend play – think toy phones, baby dolls, animal figurines, or mini tea sets. Musical instruments like tambourines, shakers, or xylophones are not only fun but also help with rhythm and sensory processing. Chunky crayons are also great for encouraging scribbles – and those early masterpieces might earn a spot on your fridge. As their vocabulary starts to form and their understanding of language grows, this is the perfect time to keep those conversations flowing. Reading together, singing songs, and chatting about what you’re doing throughout the day helps build their language skills and connection to you. Even if they’re not saying much just yet, they’re absorbing it all – storing up words, rhythms, and tones to use later. 18 Months - 2 Years: The Big Personality Welcome to toddlerhood – where the big personality really comes through! At this stage, your child is becoming more independent, showing clear preferences, and beginning to express their likes and dislikes. You might notice them choosing to play solo more often, or forming strong attachments to certain toys, books, routines, or even characters from stories and shows. This is also when pretend play really starts to blossom. Role-playing everyday scenarios – like cooking dinner, feeding a doll, or making a pretend phone call – is not only adorable, it’s an important part of social and emotional development. A toddler-sized kitchen set is a fantastic toy at this age, encouraging imaginative storytelling and helping little ones mimic the world they see around them. One of these Kitchen Helpers let your toddler safely join you at the counter, fostering independence and fine motor skills. By involving them in simple kitchen tasks, you’re nurturing their creativity and boosting their confidence in a hands-on way. Beginner puzzles are also a great choice to foster problem solving skills – Particularly ones with familiar objects such as this zoo puzzle, or this vehicle puzzle. At this age, play becomes more purposeful – every stack, stir, and story is helping your little one make sense of the world and build skills for the future. 3+ Years: The Explorer Preschoolers see the world with fresh eyes – everything is fascinating! Toys at this age are more than entertainment; they support learning, spark imagination, and help your child make sense of their world. By three, many children are ready for smaller pieces, but it's still important to supervise, just incase. Preschoolers play hard – building, crashing, dragging, shaking, and repeating – and quality toys will last longer and often perform better. Children this age are also starting to enjoy more meaningful creative and open ended activities. Here are a few of our favourite picks for the bigger kids ages 3+ Washable Colouring in Tablecloth - Great for sole play or a group activity. Best of all it can be reused over and over again! Balance Bike Start off with the trike if your little one is new to riding, and then it transforms into a balance bike! Cash Register - Perfect for pretend grocery shops or café setups, this beautifully crafted toy helps children explore early math, communication, and social interaction Playdough - Little monkeys love squishing, rolling, and making lots of different fun objects Connetix - Inspire creativity with the countless ways these sets can be built Go at Their Pace Every child develops at their own rhythm. Some skip crawling and go straight to walking. Others might take their time with speech while still communicating effectively in their own way. Some might be into different things than their peers - and that's okay! It’s tempting to compare, but there’s a very wide range of normal. If you’re ever concerned, have a chat with your GP or child health nurse. You're doing an incredible job raising a one of a kind little person. And remember – the best toy of all is you. Your love, voice, and presence are what your baby cherishes most ❤️
