15 Best Toys for 7-Month-Old Babies of 2024

The Discover The Senses Developmental Set is a lightweight and portable toy that can be stuck to your baby’s highchair tray with the detachable suction cup or enjoyed without the tray attachment.

Each arm has a different spinning item, all of which feature a sea creature. The items can spin individually on their arms, and the entire thing turns on an axle, allowing your baby to investigate different aspects of the toy.

Bright colors with lots of contrast, clear and colored plastic elements, and plenty of movement combine to make a visually stimulating toy. In contrast, the different plastic textures and the silky ribbons provide tactile stimulation.

Some people do not feel the suction works well, but this provides an unintended play opportunity for your baby — dropping the toy on the floor and watching you pick it up, over and over again.

A well-made and straightforward stacking toy, Benny Bear consists of a wooden base with a dowel, five wooden rings, and a solid disc featuring Benny Bear’s face.

The rings are graduated in size, and each one is a different color, with three of the rings featuring a pattern. This range of colors and patterns provides visual stimulation and gives your baby an additional reference for their choice of ring.

Stacking the rings supports gross motor skills, hand-eye coordination, and introduces the concept of sorting according to size. You can also use the rings for teaching colors and counting, as well as playing with your baby and taking turns to put rings on the dowel.

The Learn and Groove musical table lets your child have two different modes of play.

First, use it without the legs, and your child can play with the tabletop on the floor or with it propped up against the furniture. Alternatively, affix the legs, and your baby can play sitting at the table or while kneeling or standing in front of it.

The table introduces shapes, colors, and numbers and plays several classic kids’ songs such as Old McDonald Had A Farm and Itsy Bitsy Spider. It also has a drum and a keyboard with which your baby can play.

The Baby Einstein Magic Touch Piano do not have any buttons, just a painted solid wooden surface. The wooden body has “magic touch” technology, so when your baby touches a part of the painted piano surface, the toy responds with a real piano sound.

Both instruments have two modes of play. You can either touch the piano surface to create sounds or have the instruments play one of the built-in songs. Moreover, the piano has six melodies.

Shelly, the turtle, has a robust plastic body with seven circular holes in her shell, each of which is surrounded by a colorful hexagon.

Under her outer shell, Shelly has three “buttons,” which are like balls with a flat underside. These buttons can be pushed into Shelly’s body, where they slide around and pop back up through another hole.

The feet on the turtle are soft rubber, so Shelly will not slide across the floor or slip if your child leans on it.

This turtle isn’t just cute — it’s educational. Shelly stimulates your baby’s curiosity and encourages them to explore the concept of cause and effect. She also offers an opportunity to learn about color matching.

This soft, brightly colored ball from VTech contains a motion sensor. Roll, throw, drop, kick, or shake the ball, and it will play music or fun sounds in response.

The ball’s surface is decorated in a variety of colorful panels, some of which also have numbers. There are also two outstretched arms, with a crinkle fabric inside, which makes a fun sound when squeezed.

Made of soft fabric, the ball does not bounce, but this makes it safe for you and your baby to throw to each other without fear of your little one getting hurt. It is also excellent for kicking when your baby reaches that stage.

The electronic module can be removed for sound-free play or to enable washing.

The Fisher-Price Crawl Around car offers your child the opportunity to play while sitting independently. They can also sit supported within the car, crawl around the outside, and pull themselves up and “cruise” the perimeter.

There is a shape sorter in one door, and the other door has a built-in ball chute that teaches your child about object permanence. Both doors open, making it easy for your child to get in and out of the car body.

The dashboard has multiple press-and-play items that light up and/or play music, as well as a moving steering wheel and gear change lever. Although the car has wheels that spin, the body sits on the floor, and the wheels sit off of it.

This prevents the car from rolling away while your child is leaning on it.

Roughly 9x9x8 inches, this soft, brightly colored cube from Melissa and Doug features a pig, a duck, a cow, and a lamb. Each animal makes the appropriate sound when you press their nose.

The top of the cube has a baby-safe mirror at the center of a crinkle petaled flower. There is a padded handle your baby can use to carry the cube.

The cube takes 2 AAA batteries, accessed via a hidden panel on the base that’s hard to find. The hidden battery compartment is suitable for babies, but a little tricky for adults when trying to find it for the first time. This is also where you can find the switch to turn the sound off if you wish.

A modern twist on the traditional, painted wooden toy, these soft plastic blocks from B. Toys come in a handy, zippered, carry bag which is great for storage. There are ten blocks in the pack, and each side of each block has a different raised image, making 60 fun pictures in all.

The brightly colored plastic is soft, meaning the blocks can be squeezed as well as safely chewed upon by your baby. And don’t worry, the plastic is both BPA and phthalate-free, so you don’t have to stress about your baby putting potentially toxic substances in their mouth.

Rollin’ Rovee is a battery-operated unique toy that is designed to grow with your child.

In the first mode, Rovee will play peek-a-boo, clap, use greetings, and say the alphabet. Then, in the second, Rovee will roll across the floor, singing, playing music, and introducing counting, shapes, and opposites. This encourages your child to crawl after it.

Next, Rovee will play dance games, clap, and count. While in the fourth mode, it will race around, play hide and seek, and play catch with the ball included in the box.

The eyes light up, and Rovee’s arms are covered in soft, huggable fabric.

The Infantino Cuddly Teether has a soft body made of multiple panels. Each panel has a different texture. Inserts in its ears and its entire paws are made of contrasting black and white material, providing your baby with plenty of visual stimulation.

Meanwhile, the body makes a crinkling noise when it is squeezed.

The fox’s feet are both textured teethers, and it has an additional textured teething ring on a fabric loop at its neck. All teethers are BPA and phthalates free, and the entire toy can be washed in either the dishwasher or washing machine.

The teether is also available as a penguin with the same features, and both options have a loop on the back of the head so you can attach it to a stroller.

This sensory toy is a fun combination of blocks, animals, and balls that provides multiple play opportunities for your baby.

There are eight soft plastic blocks, eight balls of the same material, and four cute, squeezable animals. Each of the balls has a different texture, and the blocks have a raised image on each face. All faces have a different image, and none of the images are repeated on other blocks.

All items can be washed in the dishwasher, but beware. Each of them has a small hole, and water can get in. Therefore, if you put them through the dishwasher, be sure there is no water left inside.

It might be best to clean them with a damp cloth instead of the dishwasher.

A well-constructed toy, this object permanence box and tray are joined rather than there being a separate box and tray.

Your baby drops the ball through the hole in the top of the box and then watches as it rolls out. This demonstrates the concept of object permanence by allowing your baby to discover that the ball still exists even when they cannot, briefly, see it.

The object permanence box also promotes fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination. In addition, all pieces of the box and tray are made of wood, are sanded smooth, and all corners are rounded.

A traditional shape sorter with a modern twist, the Sort and Discover drum from VTech has five colorful shapes for your baby to put through the lid and into the drum.

The shapes are each a different color and have recessed tops in which there is a sticker featuring a cute cartoon animal and a number. This allows you to talk about shapes, colors, and numbers, as well as the featured creature.

The top of the drum has a flashing light, plays songs, and acts as a drum for your baby. When the shapes are put through the top of the drum, the lid recognizes the shape, and your baby will hear the name of the shape, the color, the number, and the animal.

These four transparent plastic bubbles are just the right size for a baby to grasp. The brightly colored, multi-textured bands around the outside mean they remain gripable, even when wet.

Each of these outer bands has a different texture. Also, the bands are not attached to the inner spheres, meaning the “bubbles” move freely within the outer framework.

Two bubbles contain cute plastic creatures, and the other two have spinning plastic elements and balls inside. Consequently, the bubbles stimulate your baby’s hearing as well as vision.

Your baby can play with these in the bath, where they float, as well as on the floor where they can be rolled.
