Crochet instructions for baby toys: Crochet baby toys yourself, instructions for beginners & professionals

Toys for the development of your child

Children and babies love toys in every imaginable shape and colour. They provide the first positive effects, for example in the form of music or other sounds. As well as promoting social behaviour when playing with others and discovering new things they can also establish the first connections between words and actions. In short, playing at an early age is not only great fun, but also important for development. In order for the little ones to have something soft to touch and interact with, in addition to hard wooden or plastic toys, you can also become active yourself and crochet small toys or cuddly toys with wool and yarn.

Make your own toys and cuddly toys

In our gallery you will find baby toys in different variations, be it a soft toy for grasping or a cute duck to cuddle. Even small cars or any other shape can be easily made with the appropriate instructions. For the very first toys of your little darling you can also sew a little bell into the figure and thus provide for an additional appeal. Usually you only need a little wool or yarn in your desired colour and the matching hooks to make the figure. You will also need filling material such as cotton or filling wool to stuff and shape the crocheted figure.

Crochet amigurumis for babies

How about a little cuddly toy for your little kid? Our instructions for crocheting baby toys have lots of cute Amigurumi designs for this purpose. Try your hand at small forest animals such as foxes, deer, or wild boars, for example, which will definitely make your child's room a treat. Of course, the small cuddly toys can also have any other shape imaginable, be it dog, cat, mouse, cow and horse or even a dragon or unicorn.

Crochet grasping toys and baby rattles

Infants and toddlers are already happy about very simple crocheted toys, which do not ask too much of them and still guarantee fun. Among the probably earliest baby toys are, for example, crocheted grasping toys, which invite to playful discovery and are well suited for small baby hands. Especially the use of natural materials such as cotton is ideal for showing your child the world. Or would you prefer a baby rattle? If you want to crochet a cute baby toy, the rattle is ideal not only to feel but also to hear at the same time - this way, several senses are addressed at the same time while playing enthusiastically, which also supports the development of your kids.

Crocheting DIY baby toys

Do it Yourself is the latest trend, so why not for your baby? With our beginner-friendly instructions you can easily and successfully crochet DIY baby toys that come in a variety of shapes and colours. Very important: our instructions not only provide you with comprehensive descriptions, but also offer extensive picture material. This way you know exactly what to do at every single step along the way. And should you make a mistake: no problem, you have all the time in the world. Just go back a few steps and try again.

Ideal as a gift for parents

A toy you made yourself is a great idea not only for your own sweetheart, but friends and family will be delighted by such a personal gift which makes a good impression, as well. Especially for baby parties or welcoming a new baby you can give an individual cuddly toy or even a toy that is perhaps based on the sex of the child. When crocheting, however, make sure that the finished toy is suitable for children – if possible, avoid small parts that could be swallowed easily and the materials should ideally be soft, smooth and not too scratchy.
