The nurse is counseling the parents of a 6-1/2-month-old infant. Which age-appropriate toy is most appropriate for the nurse to suggest to these parents?
1. Soft, fluid-filled ring that can be chilled in the refrigerator
2. Colorful rattle
3. Jack-in-the-box toy
4. Push-and-pull toy
Correct Answer: 1
