✔️ Did You Know? - Visually - at 3 months babies are becoming able to distinguish between different shades of color and perfecting their object tracking skills. At 4 months, their vision has sharpened to 20/40 and they can pick out subtle color contrasts like a red button on a red shirt. At 5 months, it's not quite 20/20 but it's continuing to improve. They can tell the difference between 2 shades of color but still prefer red, green and blue.
So babies of from 3 months will be drawn to bright colors. Toys that are bright, colorful and visually appealing are perfect.

There are some great baby books out there that can be attached to a stroller or a crib. At 3 months babies are starting to grab things and chew them so these books are designed to withstand this developmental milestone.

Look for books with different images and textures they can touch and feel too. Of course, you can also read the book to your baby as well!
The Lamaze soft cloth Peek-a-Boo Forest book which is featured is a great example. It features big fabric flaps so that babies can feel and lift them. It's full of bright colors to attract baby's attention. The fabrics are washable too which is a big plus for dribbling babies!

There are a wide range of toys that attach to babies strollers. Look for stroller toys that feature all kinds of different textures for babies to feel and explore with their fingers. They should also be colorful to attract babies attention.

✔️ Top Tip - At 3 months babies will be able to bat and swipe at toys and are able to bring their hands together and open their fingers but won't quite be able to grasp and pick them them yet. Their sense of touch is becoming more sensitive. Toys that have different textures to touch and explore are good choices.

I actually bought this playnest for a friend before I had my own kids. At the time I didn't know much about baby toys so it was kind of a fluke how much my friend loved and used this toy. Her baby was around 4 months at the time and she said she used this toy so much to keep her baby entertained.
The playnest is designed to support babies as they play. It's covered in fabric and there are activities around the circle including flaps to lift and crinkly material to explore and feel. It's great for keeping young babies in one place while you can do other things and you can move it around with you.
jumperoo
The jumperoo has to be one of the best toys we got for my own son when he was a baby. Babies will need good neck control and their feet will need to be able to touch the floor, so some 3 month old babies will be a little too young to use this yet. However, it's worth having as early as possible as when they can use it, it only is suitable for a few months.
We used ours from around 4 to 11 months. He absolutely loved and actually fell asleep while bouncing on it on occasion. They are expensive but they have a good resale value if you keep it in good condition.
The rainforest jumperoo has been around for many years. The jumperoo is adjustable with 3 different height positions.
Babies love the music, the jumping action, the many different toys to play with. The padding is washable to keep it clean too.
✔️ Did You Know? - you can look out for communication developmental milestones when playing with your baby.
At 3 months babies will smile when she hears your voice and other people's voices and maybe at sounds from toys too. They will enjoy playing with people and may cry when playing stops, communicating likes and dislikes.
At 4 babies are becoming effective communicators. They will coo, use sounds such as ooh and aah, squeal and giggle. Babies will also use an increasing number of facial expressions to express meotions, a beaming smile or a crunched up angry face.
At 5 months babies may be really babbling away putting vowels and consonents together to make sounds such as ba ba. Although they won't have assigned meanings to works just yet!

✔️ Did You Know? - sleep patterns vary wildy but 3 month old babies can sleep 6 or 7 hours at a time. At 4 or 5 months, babies can sleep for 7 or 8 hours in one stretch. Of course the time they sleep for can be effected by all kinds of things and babies can wake due to teething, illness or hitting developmental milestones but overall they should be waking less at night.
As babies get older, it can be helpful to start thinking about a bedtime routine. Take away the stimulating toys. Some parents like bathtime, bathing babies, rocking them, singing lullabies and may look at pictures or books. A soothing toy may also be a part of settling baby ready for sleep. It's a good idea to put babies in the crib when they're drowsy so they can soothe themselves off to sleep on their own.
