Hi all mummy.. i got this question as above.. when do we start buying simple toys for them? & when they know how to grab toys to play? my boy is 1 month 2 weeks..

You can start with toys dangling over him and he will learn to grab it.

I had the fisher price bouncer. It has something which I can put on it and dangle some toys. That's what I did. I used up to 3mths.

I also bought a rattle he can shake.

You can visit www.babycenter.com.sg where they have suggested toys you can buy and use at the approrpiate ages.

I try not to put toys in the cot or around the cot. Cot is for sleeping, not playing. I try to differentiate play areas so that my son knows when it's time for what activity. If he's in his cot, it's time to sleep, not play.
