Working at home as a mom can be quite challenging especially if you have kids between the ages of 0-4 years of age. This is because they are at the stage where they require your daily input to keep them busy. It becomes much more challenging when you have to take care of them, do all your house chores and still get to do your home business. It is little wonder then that we find all kinds of write ups on how to schedule your time so that you get meaningful work done while you work from home or run your home business as the case may be.

I know it can be challenging to be able to keep your little ones at home and still make a living, however, it’s not impossible, you just need to figure out how to make the best use of your time.

I decided to write this post because I know there are work at home moms who struggle with creating the needed time to give to their business just like me.I figured that we can make use of toys to buy some needed time in other to carry out one task or the other hence my post on the 10 best baby toys to keep your baby busy as a work at home mom.

Amongst my list are things which you may not practically call a Toy but a baby gear, however, the way I see it, as long as it helps you keep your baby busy while you snatch that little one hour or ten minutes here and there, it’s well worth it. This list is not all encompassing but with this ideas, you can know how to get your baby occupied while you get some work done.

My favorite for this list is the Push and Pull Toys, these are toys that encourage tactile movements in babies, cognitive ability, and sensory abilities. Once your baby is able to move around a bit, you will find that anything they can push or pull will be of interest to them, this is because it helps them to explore their surroundings and develops their sense of touch.

According to a publication in US National Library of Medicine, National institute of Health, Children who are not exposed to sensory stimulation often witness a delay in their cognitive abilities. So having established this fact, here are some toys that will help you get your baby making those tactile movements while you work.
