Baby Toys

So, what toys does BabyL play with at around 4 months of age? (Please note: I have not received any compensation from any company listed below in exchange for mentioning their product.)

He has a soft monkey rattle that usually elicits a smile. When he was younger, it fit around his wrist, so it would rattle when he waved his arms, but now he is able to grasp the rattle himself. 

He also has a multi-colored sock monkey from D's mother. D was playing with this toy with BabyL when we heard the first giggle. 

BabyL also likes the Topsy Turtle Mirror Rattle by Infantino (pictured at left) It has lots of bright colors, a mirror on its belly, and the legs make noise. 

I recently picked up an Oball by Rhino Toys. It's about 4 inches in diameter, and made of very flexible plastic. All of the openings are perfect fingerholds for little hands. And BabyL loves all the bright colors. 

We also have this Fisher Price piano hanging on the side of his crib (BabyL still sleeps in a play yard in our room; we expect to transition him to his crib around 6 months). So far, BabyL only accidentally hits the keys while waving his arms in his crib. Hitting a key triggers the piano to play a short song. 

We also have an unbreakable mirror from Sassy. This can be propped up on the floor, or tied to the side of a crib. We play with it during tummy time on the living room floor. The bird has a jingle ball in it, and the ball in the center of the turtle up top turns, the sun spins in a circle, and there is a rubber teething ring on the side. 

And finally, I recently purchased the Fisher Price Laugh and Learn Puppy. It's marketed for babies 6 months and up, but BabyL seems to like the songs it plays. The Laugh and Learn puppy teaches parts of the body (ear, heart, tummy, hand, foot), colors, and sings songs like the ABC's, and the Itsy Bitsy Spider.
