It may seem like entertaining babies is a very hard job. Once they become older, there are going to be plenty of ways to capture their imaginations, but in the first couple of years it may seem like very little will stimulate their minds.
In truth, the opposite is true, and with everything being new to them, their brains are constantly soaking in everything around them. One of the best ways to entertain babies and to keep them relaxed and smiling, and in turn keep your own blood pressure down a little, is to soothe them with music.
Music has been proven to not only relax babies, but also, in the long run, improve intelligence. In long term tests, those babies exposed to music from a very early age usually had higher IQ levels than those who weren’t. As such, a children’s music box may be the perfect thing to keep them entertained from even the very youngest age and help to boost their IQ too.
The added benefit of a children’s music box is the fact that, whilst they will entertain and relax babies in equal measures, they will also have moving figures that will amuse them and even help develop key areas of the brain.
Aside from the humble music box, there are plenty of other things to keep even the youngest of babies interested and amused. From mobiles to snow globes, anything bright that has movement will develop their senses in the early days and bring them genuine happiness. Snow globes can also have music themselves and items such as these and music boxes can put a smile on even the youngest baby’s face.
Ultimately, entertainment for the youngest of children doesn’t have to involve the television. Attractive bright items that move and play music will be the best form of entertainment for any baby.
