Photogra-m


My baby girl is almost 2 months - i need something to occupy her later on - some kind of activity play center toy - something great with lights and music _ I've been window shopping and dont see much that i like - What do you parents out there recommend -What toys does your baby like??
What about activity mats or something that will promote sitting up and crawling??
And also looking for toys I can attatch to her swing (since her swing does not play music or have lights- a toy with light & music thats attatchble - where can I find one??



Answer
My kids LOVED the peek-a-boo blocks from Fisher Price. It is also good for development for them to learn how to put things in and take things out. They have a shape sorter from peek-a-boo blocks. It has different shapes and each block has something new inside. There are SO many different accessories that you can get with the Peek-a-boo blocks. toysrus.com has a great way to select that type of thing. You select the age, and then you select the type of toys. You want to find cause and effect toys, early development, and sights and sounds. You can look at all those categories there, or just type whatever type of toy into a search engine and it should pull up some options.

my wife and i are expecting our first child in feburary. my question is, what can we do to help develop her brain activity and things like her sences. I'm not a big fan of those education videos or movies but i won't totaly rule them out. does it really help or make a difference when they are so young, like new born to read to them or do whatever we can to help her along?


Answer
Children are not supposed to watch TV before the age of 2. Research shows that it can be detrimental to their development. So trust your instincts. I would read to your child, talk to her, sing to her. Tummy time is very important, it leads to earlier crawling. Make sure that when she starts playing, she has lots of open-ended toys. These are toys that can be used in many ways, like blocks, plastic food, stacking rings, etc. The "interactive" talking toys are overrated. It is better for you to interact with your child. They learn more from you.
