3 month toys

[hercules]

any advice on good toys for a 3 month old ?

a baby gym if you havent got one!

Have you got an ativity mat? DD enjoyed one of those with the different textures, and sqeaky things on at that age. And another vote for a baby gym - we had the Fisher Price one which makes a toddler keyboard/piano afterwards. It had lots of tunes and flashy lights.

Thanks for messages. I have a baby gym and d2 loves it. When can they start to hold toys? It's been a long time since d1?

dd2 has a couple of musical toys - both VTECH I think, an apple (from woolworths) and a nursery rhyme book. Her little face lights up whenever she hears the music.

dd loved tactile toy at that age - the sort of soft toys with differnt fabrics on some of hwich would shine in the light, or have black/white stripes, and contain bells/rattles Lamaze style . Boots do a range as do Toys r Us - she had a caterpillar and ds had a mummy and baby tortoise.

Also anything musical - she got a Muzzart dog from vtech which still is in her bed 2 years later - can be set to play a lullaby if she cries - and a Fisher Price foot piano which again she still uses.

What about a baby safe mirror. I think ours mught have been a Fisher Price one. It stood up and made like a pyramid shape with a mirror on one side and other tactile bits around it. Most babies enjoy looking at themselves.

Also M&S do a lovely baby safe photo album which you could be put pictures of familiar people - mummy, daddy, nana and grandad, brother or sister and baby too. DD loves lookign at pictures (and still does).
