From LoveToKnow Baby

Finding that perfect baby boy gift has a lot to do with the age of the baby and his interests at that particular age. There is a huge difference between what a newborn baby boy wants or needs as opposed to a toddler baby boy. The following are some suggestions for baby boy gifts.

Newborn Baby Boy Gifts

Obviously, a newborn boy will not be able to actually play with any of his toys. If you are searching for the perfect baby boy gift for an infant, you probably need to consider what he needs. Of course, clothes will always work, as well as the essentials such as diapers, wipes, diaper creams, baby wash, burp clothes, bibs, bottles, etc.

However, you can buy toys for newborn boys, too. Newborns love objects colored in red, black, and white, so look for toys that are designed with these colors. They also love to look at faces. You can find lots of interesting newborn toys that will help stimulate baby's mind. Don't forget soothing compact disks and educational videos or dvd's.

Perfect toys for this age baby include colorful mobiles, musical activity gyms, musical toys of almost any kind, as long as they are age appropriate, and board books. Babies also love rattles, toy keys, teething rings, and soft books.

Six to Ten Months Old Baby Boy Gifts

Even if the baby boy you're buying for isn't mobile yet, he soon will be. While he'll still enjoy some of his older toys, he'll want to begin experimenting with stackable toys and toys that can be manipulated, such as blocks and large cars and trucks. He'll continue to love books of any kind, but he may focus more on books about animals or colorful books that have flaps and hidden compartments.

Ten to Twelve Months Old Baby Boy Gifts

If baby isn't walking, he may soon begin to try to cruise around furniture at any rate. By this age, he may enjoy toys that he can push, such as lawn mowers and poppers, and toys that he can pull, such as a quacking duck or a barking puppy.

Twelve to Fifteen Months Old Baby Boys

By now, baby boys love the outdoors. If it is summertime, you might want to think about purchasing a small wading pool for baby to enjoy. He'll also love playing in his very own sand box, complete with buckets, shovels, cars and trucks. Ride-on toys are a favorite at this age. Don't bother looking for items with pedals, though. Baby boys can get where they need to go by using their feet!

Fifteen to Twenty-four Months Old Baby Boy Gifts

Although they can be kind of pricey, baby boys love to climb on small gyms that are complete with stairs, a slide, and maybe a steering wheel. Many of these gyms also have little doors for baby to open and close or hide behind. Don't forget the adorable swings that are available for babies of this age. Of course, ride-on toys are still popular. Balls are also fun for baby boys to have. They are learning the concept of throwing and catching, so these make excellent gifts. As always, books are great for any age, too!
