my baby doesn't like toys. she likes books a lot. i bought some books like " my 1st words" with a lot of pictures.
tell him/her a lot. like "this is butterfly", "this is car" etc.
eventually she'll know them. when you ask her, she'll points at each picture. my daughter knew it when she was around 6/7 months. eventually, she pointed at the picts and said the name. she did that around 12 months.
it really worked for me. now she is 19 months, talk a lot and be able to tell a few words from looking at the book. such as 'the sun is hot!", "baby sleeping", etc...
talk to her as much as possible. talk to her like she's an adult. don't treat her like baby who doesn't know anything. babies know and understand many things in fact!
i am not sure whether there's any toys that can make babies smart. but i am sure the book works well for me. of course, we have to take efforts to talk to them and show them lots of things around us

Research shows it's not the toys that's making the child smart. It's the interaction and examples given when talking/ teaching your child. Give a lot of QUALITY time (quantity doesn't matter as much) since supposedly the first 5 years are important for child development (correct me if im wrong).
Good ideas:
1. counting clouds in the sky
2. singing a lullaby together
3. reading a goodnight book
4. doing laundry (learn the colors)
5. stacking blocks
6. ect

Mobiles when they are infants. All toys that teach something such as toys that have buttons and make sounds like animals, etc. Also, blocks and toys that allow the child to think such as pegs in round or square holes. There's a lot to choose from.

Babies really like classical music, so I bought a Mozart Cube for mine- good from birth up!

My rule of thumb is to get them at least a month higher than their age.

interaction stimulates them, not the toys.
spend time with the kid.
