" Handicraft gifts with personality "
Even in the first few days, your baby is very aware of its surroundings. Everything is new and unfamiliar. For an adult, it is sometimes quite difficult to comprehend how many impressions a baby is exposed to on a daily basis. While for us everything seems natural and has long been familiar, your little sunshine is constantly being bombarded with new stimuli.
It takes a few weeks for your little darling to find their way in this new world. After all, you must not forget that your newborn baby has spent the past few months in a wonderful place.
It has never known hunger or thirst, it has never been cold and everything has been nice and quiet and subdued.
So give your little one plenty of time before you start thinking about baby toys or other activities.
Use this time to make individual gifts yourself. Baby-themed craft ideas include pacifier chains with motif beads or baby carriage chains with names or various beads and bells.
The first useful baby toys
Baby carriage chains
The first baby toys are a perfect combination of practical use and cute play ideas for the little ones. Baby carriage chains are without a doubt one of the first important purchases in this area. Although the name suggests that they can only be used for the baby carriage, it soon becomes clear that these special chains can be used in many different ways.
Grasping toys and pacifier chains
Grasping toys and pacifier chains are also used in the first few months. All of these things have a useful aspect and are not just toys. First and foremost, they train motor skills and offer the child a visual stimulus. The pacifier chain will become a very important and indispensable accessory. Trust the experience of parents who have spent hours searching for the pacifier because it was simply thrown away by the diaper wearer.
Such situations are particularly fatal when you are out and about. The pacifier chain can save you all that. It is simply attached to the child's clothing and the pacifier is always to hand.
Add the grasping toy to your collection of useful toys. Whether on the go or at home. The grasping toy will bring your baby lots of joy. Especially if you have made such a grasping toy yourself. Take this wonderful opportunity to give your child such a lovely gift.
From what age is the hanging toy for the baby carriage recommended?
It usually depends on the individual development of your child. While some little ones are not yet really interested in baby carriage chains or grasping toys at three months, there are also babies who make their first attempts at grasping at just a few weeks old and admire the chains with great attention.

You know your child best and can therefore decide quite well when it is time for the first chain on the baby carriage. In the event that someone gives you a lovely present in the form of a baby carriage chain, but your baby is not yet ready, simply put it aside for a while. The time will come sooner than you might think.
Where are baby carriage chains used?

You stretch the chains from right to left so that your baby can not only see the chain clearly, but can also reach for it.

If your little one doesn't want to sleep during a walk, the baby carriage chain is a wonderful way to keep them occupied. Especially in the first few months, these colorful objects exert a magical attraction on the little diaper wearer. You can also attach the chain to the baby car seat. On longer or shorter car journeys, the pram chain can keep your little sunshine occupied for a while. Last but not least, the baby carriage chain can also be attached to the baby bouncer. It is therefore advisable to have several, so that they can be used in a variety of ways.
If you make the chain yourself, you also have the wonderful opportunity not only to use different motifs and colors, but also to make individual lengths. In addition to motor skills, these toys promote the child's perception. The different shapes make the individual components interesting. There are also elements such as little bells, which also provide a small acoustic signal.
