Best 6-9 Months Toy: Lamaze Mix and Match Caterpillar

Cute, crinkly, squeaky toys are bound to be a hit—but add in the option to pull it apart and put it back together, and you’ve got an instant favorite on your hands.

WHAT WE LOVE

• There’s plenty for baby to explore in just one toy: multi-colored ribbons, contrasting patterns, crinkly textures, knots, squeaks, chimes and more
• Baby can shake, squeeze or gnaw on the toy—or, better yet, yank apart and rearrange the eight different Velcro pieces of the caterpillar, and exercise those fine motor skills
• Thanks to the detachable segments, the caterpillar can easily be stored or packed for on-the-go play
