What toys increase infant involvement?5 answersToys that increase infant involvement include sex-stereotyped toys. These toys were found to elicit greater involvement from children compared to cross-sex toys, regardless of the parent's or child's gender. Parents' initial nonverbal responses to the toys were more positive when the toys were stereotyped for the child's and parent's gender. Another type of toy that increases infant involvement is an apron with detachable multicolored two-dimensional cut out toys. These toys provide a variety of detachment tasks that vary in difficulty, stimulating the child's manipulation and color matching skills. Additionally, an infant toy with a core section and interconnected fabric loops as tags can also increase infant involvement. The different lengths, widths, colors, and designs of the tags further stimulate the infant.
