Bright, colourful and tactile toys are good at this age. If your little one's teething, get some bright teethers, anything gummy. My 3 month old loves anything that dangles that he can bat at or grab, so if you haven't got a playmat/gym then that would be useful. Soft toys that can fit into his hand that can be put in baby's mouth without risk of choking are wonderful, and usually quite inexpensive because of their size. Babies have no need for huge stuffed animals at this point.
You can usually make a game out of household items at this age, without spending a fortune on toys. Things like bright plastic cups and mirrors, babies aren't looking at the brand label or price tag, they just love interesting looking things. I've bought so many toys and my son prefers to stare up at my sparkly lampshade most of the time!

Let me reword, what kind of toys to buy a 6 month old baby?
Tristens M
I just want to know what kind of toys, what toys you would buy a 6 month old baby? People are saying they wont know the difference for Christmas, and I understand that, but since I dont have a lot of money, this is the one time of year I will be able to buy my daughter some toys, so what kind should I get?
Answer
My daughter will be 5 1/2 month by christmas, so almost 6 months. I plan to buy her for toys:
---Baby Einstein "Push and pull toys" I can attach to her play mat----they have a lot of these at Target or walmart for affordable prices
----A couple of "Pat The bunny" type children's books---probably I'll get them at Barnes and Noble in the children's section. My daughter loves it when I read to her.
---some toys that squeak like rubber duckies etc.
---I'm considering getting a new mobile thing for her crib that hangs, this one I saw at Target plays music and is very decorative looking.
----a touch toy---something that when you touch it, it lights up and makes sounds, I'm not sure which one yet, but I'm thinking of the phone one for her.
I already have one of these, but you could also buy her a colorful "stacker" those pyramid-shaped things with colorful rings on them (I think thats what theyre called)---at walgreen's they have one that lights up when you touch them and plays music. It says 6 mons plus on it.
My dad already said he's going to get me an exersaucer for her. also another tip. maybe this sounds tacky, but when ppl ask me what I want for christmas, I say something for my daughter instead lol. like my mom asked what I wanted and I said an umbrella stroller lol.
