Best developmental toys for 10 month olds

Looking for gift ideas for a 10 month old, or developmental toys for a 10 month old? You're in the right place! These toys are all developmentally appropriate for a baby around 10 months old. Of course, babies learn at their own pace and your baby may not be ready to do as much as another baby might at this stage, but in general these are some toys that can help your 10 month old learn and expand their little mind through play! 🥰

Object permanence ball toy

At this age, your baby is learning object permanence. This object permanence toy is perfect for this age! Your baby places the ball in the hole...it "disappears" for a second..and then it comes rolling out the other end! Your baby learns that objects are present even when hidden. They also can learn cause and effect from this toy. Finally, what makes this a great developmental toy for 10 month olds is that your baby is learning to place objects into other objects, another milestone your baby will be meeting soon.

Carrot pull toy

Another great developmental toy for a 10 month old...the carrot pull toy! My baby loves this toy! This Montessori-inspired toy is so cute. I set up all the carrots and then my baby pulls them all out in a hurry. 😅 She of course likes to "eat" the carrots. She can't put them back in yet (that milestone will come later) but she has tried a couple times!! The felt "leaves" make the carrots really easy to pull out.

Tissue box toy

I looked these up after my baby caught a hold of a tissue box and before I could grab it away from her managed to pull out about 10-15 tissues in quick succession! This toy is super cute because she can pull out the little play cloths, and each is a different color. It is hard to make them come out exactly like a real tissue box, but it works just fine.
