My dd bee lines straight for every ball or object that resembles a ball, and usually I'll just let her hold one. Sometimes we do give in and buy one if they are cheap, but most times inlet her hold it knowing I'm going to make her put it back. She's still the sweet age that I can say " say bye bye to the ball" and she will put it back and blow it kisses, but I know this won't last forever! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-let-your-lo-play-with-toys-in-stores-knowing-you-wont-buy-them#post-1030325 Mon, 19 Aug 2013 21:15:13 +0000 MrsScallop 1030325@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have, but I do make sure she doesn't shove it in her mouth. I figure that at this point she won't mind too much either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-let-your-lo-play-with-toys-in-stores-knowing-you-wont-buy-them#post-1030317 Mon, 19 Aug 2013 21:11:57 +0000 JoyfulKiwi 1030317@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do sometimes, but only stuff that's hanging out in the open (I.e. not in a box). He never seems to really care though :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-let-your-lo-play-with-toys-in-stores-knowing-you-wont-buy-them#post-1030290 Mon, 19 Aug 2013 21:03:21 +0000 birdofafeather 1030290@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>no, only because my LO is 7 months and it would go right in her mouth and then i would definitely buy it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-let-your-lo-play-with-toys-in-stores-knowing-you-wont-buy-them#post-1030096 Mon, 19 Aug 2013 19:41:00 +0000 Sapphiresun 1030096@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't have a kid old enough to play with toys, but I don't see any reason to be feeling guilty about it. They make the boxes open to try out for a reason, and just because you didn't buy it today, if there was something he really loved, there's no reason you couldn't just file it away in your mind to buy later for birthday/christmas or something. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-let-your-lo-play-with-toys-in-stores-knowing-you-wont-buy-them#post-1030093 Mon, 19 Aug 2013 19:38:56 +0000 Rubies 1030093@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD is 2 years old and I let her play with the toys that are on display that is meant for playing with. She hasn't asked me to buy anything...I'm not sure she understands the concept yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-let-your-lo-play-with-toys-in-stores-knowing-you-wont-buy-them#post-1030076 Mon, 19 Aug 2013 19:32:28 +0000 cranberryapple 1030076@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So we were at Target, and I let LO (13 months) roam and play with the toys he could reach. He was more interested in pushing his stroller around, but he did press a few toys here and there and played with the popper push toy. I didn't intend to buy anything, so.....felt kinda guilty! Does anyone else do this? </p>
