The most appropriate toy based on the child's age and developmental level would be a colorful mobile with music.At this age, the infant can listen to sounds and follow objects.The mobile provides visual and auditory stimulation to continue to promote growth and development.The 2-month-old infant cannot yet grasp objects; hence neither a rattle nor a play telephone would be suitable, as yet.The same would apply for the stuffed teddy bear and worse yet, depending on the size of the bear, it could provide a suffocation hazard at this age.
