Buying Toys for the Baby
Send me email updates:
Initially the mistake we made in choosing the toys for our baby is to go all by our self (myself and the wife) to buy toys that we like.We ended up most of the times in choosing the wrong toys. Believe me we thought it is as simple as to go buy toys and we learnt it hard way that we are not helping ourself and our baby in choosing the right playable toys.Call this as our inexperience with toys and all that first baby learning mistakes.
Now What we usually do is take our child to a toy store for her to play with a toy before buying it, Most of the times (70%) this works.This provides a good opportunity to observe your child playing with different toys.See what interests your baby. Watch to see whether he/she has an inkling about how to use the toy. If he/she does, go ahead and buy it.
Also when you visit your friends who has babies of same age as your child , this socializing is good opportunity to see what friends toys your baby likes.
Basing on all these now it is time for you to call the shots on what to buy for your baby.
There are thousands of toys and toys stores to choose, and that's just in the newborn and infant section. one cannot buy all the toy store and more over it is unnecessary to create too much junk in the house, over time build some criteria to narrow it to your child needs.This is a bumpy road and will take some time but every one kind of gets a feel of what baby likes and dislikes. Just not limit your baby to only one set of toys make her toys diversified that eventually helps her/him grow.
