Babies learn about the world through their senses: touch, sound, sight, and plenty of chewing along the way. Nuby’s sensory toys give little ones something to squeeze, pop, rattle, or gnaw on, all in one collection.
The Giggle Bytes Sensory Popper Teething Toy is a fun one to start with, and the Pasta Silicone Teething Ring adds a different texture to the mix.
Nuby sensory toys are made with baby-safe materials for everyday squeezing, chewing, rattling, and exploring.
Looking for more textures to explore? Our teethers and silicone teethers collections have plenty more.
Not Every Sensory Toy Feels the Same
This collection covers a lot of ground on purpose. Some toys pop and click, some rattle, some are ridged for chewing, and a few are soft fabric designs. That variety is the point, since babies respond differently to sound, texture, and shape, and it often takes some trial and error to find what your baby likes best.
Why choose Nuby sensory toys?
- Textures to Explore: Ridges, fabric, and smooth silicone give babies plenty to feel and discover.
- Easy-to-Hold Designs: Shapes and handles are sized for small hands still building coordination.
- Teething-Friendly Options: Many styles double as teethers for babies who explore by mouth.
- Safety-Tested Materials: Made without suspected harmful chemicals and tested to meet strict safety standards.
What are sensory toys, and why do they matter?
Sensory toys are designed to engage touch, sound, sight, or a mix of all three. For babies, that kind of hands-on exploration is a big part of how they learn about the world around them, long before words come into play.
They’re not a requirement for development, but they do give babies an easy, low-pressure way to explore.
What makes a toy a sensory toy?
Usually it’s a combination of texture, sound, and visual contrast. A popper makes a satisfying click, a ridged teether gives something interesting to chew, and bright colors or patterns catch a baby’s eye.
Not every sensory toy does all three at once. Some lean more into sound, others into texture, so it’s worth picking a few different types to see what holds your baby’s attention.
When should I introduce sensory toys to my baby?
Many of our sensory toys are designed for babies 3 months and up, though some styles are made for slightly older babies. Check the specific product page for exact age guidance, since it varies by design.
Our rattle toys are another easy starting point around this age.
What are some safe practices for sensory play?
Always supervise sensory play, especially with younger babies who explore everything by mouth. Check toys regularly for wear, and stop using anything with a loose piece, fraying fabric, or a cracked surface.
