Sometimes I leave a small basket of toys on the ground for her and she will pull out a few here and there. She mostly plays with her blocks, and a plastic salad spoon thing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-limit-the-number-of-toys-lo-plays-with-at-a-time#post-508071 Wed, 16 Jan 2013 14:11:35 +0000 stargal 508071@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup usually only offer a couple and then I feel like its to much and usually give him 1 or 2 to play with Bt he is only 6 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-limit-the-number-of-toys-lo-plays-with-at-a-time#post-508058 Wed, 16 Jan 2013 14:08:50 +0000 heffalump 508058@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If I put every single toy LO has out in her room it would be a danger zone. Even with about 5 toys she falls all over them. She needs room to move around, walk, and explore without falling all over everything. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-limit-the-number-of-toys-lo-plays-with-at-a-time#post-508055 Wed, 16 Jan 2013 14:08:17 +0000 Bao 508055@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I give her maybe 5 toys at a time...she can't really pick up and play with them yet anyway, so it's me interacting with her and her toys so I try and focus on one toy for a bit before moving on to the next. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-limit-the-number-of-toys-lo-plays-with-at-a-time#post-508035 Wed, 16 Jan 2013 14:04:05 +0000 littlecasita1122 508035@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I also only offer a few at a time, wait 20 minutes and then see if he is bored and I'll swap something out. And I also will put toys away in our storage ottoman for a few days and then bring them back out - he forgets about them so it's like a new toy all over again! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-limit-the-number-of-toys-lo-plays-with-at-a-time#post-507902 Wed, 16 Jan 2013 13:22:07 +0000 banana 507902@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I limit toys too. I usually offer 3 or 4 toys at the most. Whenever I give either of my kids too many toy choices, they go a little crazy! So yeah, I like to limit their toy choices to only a few things and I try to provide a variety of different ones. Like a hand/eye coordination toy, a texture toy, a puzzle and a book. And maybe a stuffed animal for my DD. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-limit-the-number-of-toys-lo-plays-with-at-a-time#post-507878 Wed, 16 Jan 2013 13:17:32 +0000 mediagirl 507878@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do. I give her a selection like you do and let her choose what to play with. My husband sometimes forgets to give her toys. He will put her in her gated area when we get home and sit there with her...but she has nothing to play with! Hahah. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-limit-the-number-of-toys-lo-plays-with-at-a-time#post-507870 Wed, 16 Jan 2013 13:15:59 +0000 BeachMama 507870@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We built a little play pen area for LO now that she's crawling around. DH and my parents tend to throw all her toys in there. I usually just pick a few toys out of her box - usually something cuddly, something that rattles, a book, and her Leap Frog music table. I feel like giving her 20 toys means she only plays with each for like 3 seconds before moving onto another. I don't want her to get bored of her toys so quickly, and I feel like its kinda fostering ADD. Do you limit the # of toys you give LO? </p>
