the baby bats and swings at haning toys
el bebé batea y golpea a los juegos colgados


Explanation:
The English is describing the relatively forceful arm movements of the baby who is no doubt utterly fed up with the silly toys hanging there mere inches above his/her nostrils and would be absolutely delighted if they went flying to the floor...

bats - as in 'to bat', as in baseball or cricket
swings - as in 'take a swing at', as in boxing

El bebe manotea y balancea los juguetes colgantes


Explanation:
Me parece bien ya que es lo que intentan hacer los bebes cuando tienen esos juguetes mòviles. Busque algunos sinònomos de estos verbos que se adapten al juguteo de un niño con sus manos. Espero ayude.

the baby bats and swings at hanging toys
El bebé golpea y se balancea hacia juguetes colgantes.


Explanation:
NOTE: The age range (0-5 years) is a bit too long for a "baby"; usually the term "infant" is used for small children from about 8 months to 2 years old.
PS: The toys are not specified...so, it should not be "los" juguetes colgantes.
PSS: "Juguetes colgantes" can also be translated as simply "colgantes" or "móviles"
