What are some of your babies favorite toys/activities?

[mrsdee1982]

She loves her activity mat. She has a plush chicken that has a rattle in its stomach. She loves that thing. She constantly tries to smoother herself with her lovey (She will hold it up against her face). And the kid loves Good Night Moon.

She loves her kick and play piano gym, her swing, this spiral toys we put on her rock n play, a Taggies blanket, and a turtle with a mirror.

Mostly, though, she's all about her hands.

@freckleface, both my kids love the infant-toddler rocker. LBB used it for a really long time and still likes to sit in it while he's waiting for bathtime (we keep ours in the bathroom also).

BH loves his activity mat, his swing, but his favorite is just standing. He gets so mad when you try to lay him down, because he wants to stand. He also loves the angel-dear racoon lovey he has. He cuddles with it and it really soothes him in the car. I even send it with him to daycare.

DB is really not into anything in terms of toys. He does like sitting in his bouncer and staring at the things hanging.

Mostly he like to be held while he practices standing and bouncing. He loves sucking on his hands. And he loves "talking" back and forth!

[musicfrk2002]

J really likes his baby Einstein star. We hang it from his car seat and he could stare at it forever if it didn't automatically stop. He likes the flashing lights on it.

At home, he is starting to like his play mat more. We hooked some of the bright starts links together and strung it across . He likes looking at the colors and trying to grab them. He also likes his stuffed Dory, and his penguin beanie boo...I think because of the big eyes. We get huge smiles and giggles from him when he sees them.

DD loves her activity mat! There's an elephant with a mirror on the bottom and she starts at herself. There's a larger elephant too that she can't get enough of because it crunches and rattles. She like her bouncy because it sings to her and she like starting at the TV when there are singing type shows on. She loves being talked to and I play the kissy game with her where I swoop in and give her a kiss in random places on her face. She loves the anticipation of it and just giggles! Apparently she also likes the bumbo seat that they have at daycare so we may get one.

[periwinkledaydreams]

My boo likes eye contact galore, so anything involving people talking to, singing, making goofy faces or just playing around with her however, as long as it is very directly. She does not want to be left alone! Pay attention to me people! She loves her activity mat but again mostly when someone is right there next to her talking and playing with each thing with her.

The times we do get away with letting her do her own thing for a few minutes, she has been enjoying staring up at the flashing light musical thing that hangs from the top of the activity mat, or being mesmerized by lights/shadows coming in from the windows. She makes lots of silly noises at any kind of "moving light" right now. She also has this favorite ball my sisters kids gave to her over at their house that they put in her pack n play (we spends a lot of time over there) it has groovy bumps on it she like grabs with her toes and kicks back and forth with herself for a long time, meaning maybe 10-15 minutes! Its really cute cause she actually grabs the ball with her toes lol.

[ashbash]

C is loving his playmat these days, we can get 20 minutes playtime with that. He also loves his A&A muslin blankets, he grabs them and mouths them. He also like crinkle toys, practicing standing, walks outside (when its not 100 degrees), "eating" his neck, thighs, tummy etc and talking back and forth

[mrsmonogrammed]

DD looooves the kick n play piano gym

This Sophie teether


This car seat toy bar


And a Carters wooden owl teether toy...couldn't find a pic but I will post when I get home.

She also really likes the sit me up seat but that's new so we haven't used it much yet:)

[mrsmonogrammed]

Ah, budders you made me remember that DD loves her Mortimer Moose!


She can stare at him for like 20 minutes!

DSL loves his, but his is the girl "Muffin".  He also loves his Lamaze Pirate Horace, that's his favorite.

[hannahl201477]

We aren't much in to toys yet. His hands are currently his favorite. He also is obsessed with a little stuffed giraffe that rattles. And BC of that that's what he is going to be for Halloween. He does like his oball rattle ball but he is still figuring out how to get his toys! Lol

[mrsmonogrammed]

Bluedaisy we registered for Muffin but got Mortimer...DD doesn't seem to mind;)

[kemdupuis]

So far, Beckett loves his little einsteins play mat (which comes with a musical/light up star), his mamaroo, a set of infantino chimes, his oball, and Mortimer the moose.

In terms of games/activities- he absolutely LOVES it when I sing head, shoulders, knees and toes to him while moving his hands to the different body parts. We sing the ABCs, Baa Baa Black Sheep, Twinkle, twinkle etc and I move his arms/legs to the beat. He loves it.

He also loves playing peekaboo with his daddy, making lots of eye contact, and having lengthy babbling conversations
On his own, he loves sucking in his fist/thumb, staring at his feet, and raising his legs up and slamming them back down into the pack and play mat (when he starts doing this in the morningsI know that he is really awake haha)

ETA spelling

[gigi3126]

@freckleface Jude loves that rocker too!

He also likes the sit me up chair. Prefers it to the bumbo. I think because it's softer. And he loves his playmat, especially since my husband hung his nemesis on it... He's going to yank that thing down someday.

[missjenniebean]

The lil letters for bath time, we use them to play all the time.. And these little toys that crinkle that the hospital gave us.

[carolyngrace]

This is a dangerous thread. I'm already waiting on my clothes from the Carter's sale, as well as new swaddles from Ergobaby (also on sale!)... Shopping for baby is just so fun!

Now I want a sit-me-up and one of those adorable mooses!

This is my baby too. No interest in toys yet. She likes when I hold her and show her around the house, sucking on her hands and lots of eye contact from us. She also loves when we talk to her and vary the tone of our voice and she will ' talk ' back to us.

[tiffbot]

DD loves laying on her playmat and chewing on whatever she can. She has something like Mortimer Moose or Mr Bee but it's a kitten. She talks that things pretend ears off.

ETA found her! Apparently her name is Katie the Kitty


Otherwise, she loves sitting on my lap and just observing. She will sit and watch most of a football game with me haha. I'm hoping she'll be my little sports fan with me!

Same here! Lots of cooing and gurgling when went talk to him. And he loves trying to shove his fist into his mouth. He likes watching thing dangle in front of him but would much rather we walk him around and point out different things in the house

P just really wants to be with people, whatever we are doing. At dinner we set him in his highchair next to us and put some rings on the tray for him. He likes to reach for them and try to pick them up. He also love his bouncer chair and his Bumbo-ish seat with the toy tray. He recently started using his jumperoo for about ten minutes at a time. But mostly he is content and thrilled if he gets to be outside. He swings in the baby swing in our back yard, sits (assisted)in the grass and looks at the trees, and now sits forward facing in his stroller to go for walks.

[dogmama22]

We're not ready to use the jumperoo, but I opened all of the toy attachments today and he loves them. We have the oball jumper and I laid him on the floor and he acts like he can't decide which toy is the most fun.

Confessions of a baby gear whore: just ordered a sit me up and Katie the kitty. DH hates you all.

Ohhhh what sit me up did you order?! The baby gear whore in me *had* to have the lion because it came with a tray. Don't ask me why, we already have a full size high chair AND a space saver.

[bookninja]

LO is all about mobiles right now... Toys beyond that she is a little meh about, but she likes to eat her blanket, grab her toes, and stick her tongue out. And (this makes me sad) the swing is suddenly fun, talk and babble place now, and not instantly puts her to sleep place. It was nice while it lasted...

[carolyngrace]

Just this week DB has started to enjoy two "games"... Swooping him up to the mirror to see/surprise himself (he giggles his head off) and shaking a lovie over his head (while he lays on the ground) and then dropping it onto him while saying "woosh!".. He giggles and then grabs onto the fabric and proceeds to stuff it in his mouth.

[Flick]

We bought the Summer brand super seat which is basically a bumbo with an activity tray. More like a floorseat exersaucer. M loves it!

[junch817]

Baby boy is starting to really like this guy. He plays a little musical chime when you pull the rings, as he slowly shrinks back up to his regular size. Super cute, doesn't jingle when it hangs (waking a sleeping baby), long enough baby has a better chance at reaching it, and the melody is super sweet and a great volume. Plus different textures and crinkly things etc

[thecatsmeow]

The bathroom mirror is our very favorite thing right now. We spend a good 15 minutes in there several times a day, just kicking, laughing, and smiling!

[nchauhan]

Hands are his number one toy!! He does like staring up at his mobile; he just giggles and stares in wonder
