Even now at 13 months she's not that into toys. I painted a couple of black and white contrast pics on small canvasses that she loved though, apparently they like high contrast things at those young ages! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-i-worry-that-lo-isnt-interested-in-toys#post-1066423 Thu, 05 Sep 2013 01:55:31 +0000 Ra 1066423@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm def gonna try a mobile then. Thanks ladies! </p> <p>We have a light fixture in our living room that kind of looks like a boob. B LOVES it. He will spend 20-30 mins babbling and smiling at it. We just assumed he thought it was boob! Lol. We never even thought that he might be ready for a mobile. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-i-worry-that-lo-isnt-interested-in-toys#post-1066410 Thu, 05 Sep 2013 01:15:18 +0000 LazyLightning 1066410@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rahlyrah: my LO discovered fans and lights at that age and also loved her playmat! Now at 14 weeks she is still mostly a playmat girl... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-i-worry-that-lo-isnt-interested-in-toys#post-1066392 Thu, 05 Sep 2013 00:44:39 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 1066392@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>E didn't have interest until maybe 6 months. Even then, we would force them.<br /> Now at 10m, he goes crazy when we bring out the toy box and we don't even have to explain anything; he explores on his own an figures out how to turn them on and all that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-i-worry-that-lo-isnt-interested-in-toys#post-1066380 Thu, 05 Sep 2013 00:03:49 +0000 ALV91711 1066380@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS didn't show interest until about 3.5 months. He did like to watch the mobile in his swing before that or look at the toys on his play mat. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-i-worry-that-lo-isnt-interested-in-toys#post-1066372 Wed, 04 Sep 2013 23:54:20 +0000 Espion 1066372@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rahlyrah: I second the mobile. E looooooves his mobile. It's the cutest dang thing watching him "chat" with his BFF lion. And we also bought him a kicky piano for the end of his co-sleeper.</p> <p>(ETA: He's three months, day after tomorrow, and hasn't shown much interest in batting at toys either.) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-i-worry-that-lo-isnt-interested-in-toys#post-1066356 Wed, 04 Sep 2013 23:33:59 +0000 Smurfette 1066356@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope! R didn't have any interest till 3.5-4 months </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-i-worry-that-lo-isnt-interested-in-toys#post-1066353 Wed, 04 Sep 2013 23:31:24 +0000 lamariniere 1066353@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS has never been that interested in toys at any age and he's 2.5. I mean, he'll play with something for a few minutes and then move on. When he was your sons age we mostly played with toys for him and he was honestly more interested in crumpling paper or playing with keys or other non toys. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-i-worry-that-lo-isnt-interested-in-toys#post-1065607 Wed, 04 Sep 2013 17:09:28 +0000 skibobrown 1065607@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My daughter didn't show any true interest in toys until 3 months. I remember b/c it was right after I went back to work. I came home one day to her clearly trying to lift her arm and bat at a toy hanging over her carseat. It takes them quite a while to actually play with toys in the way you're probably used to thinking of it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-i-worry-that-lo-isnt-interested-in-toys#post-1065575 Wed, 04 Sep 2013 16:54:29 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 1065575@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rahlyrah: That's the first toy both my kids got into. They LOVED the mobile and it was so easy to keep them preoccupied with it on with its bright toys and happy music.</p> <p>Eta: Other toys require a more advanced skill set, like the ability to grasp at things, but the mobile just requires them to lay on their back, watch, and coo away. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-i-worry-that-lo-isnt-interested-in-toys#post-1065570 Wed, 04 Sep 2013 16:52:05 +0000 Ra 1065570@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. High Heels: I haven't. Lately he has been fascinated with ceiling fans and light fixtures, so maybe it's worth a try? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-i-worry-that-lo-isnt-interested-in-toys#post-1065564 Wed, 04 Sep 2013 16:48:43 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 1065564@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't worry at that age. My LO's didn't start showing any interest until the 3-4 month mark. </p> <p>Have you tried the mobile? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-i-worry-that-lo-isnt-interested-in-toys#post-1065563 Wed, 04 Sep 2013 16:48:05 +0000 MamaJ 1065563@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO had absolute no interest in toys until he was almost 4 months. Now he loves them :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-i-worry-that-lo-isnt-interested-in-toys#post-1065560 Wed, 04 Sep 2013 16:46:14 +0000 Ra 1065560@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is 11 weeks and shows little to no interest in toys. The only exception is his playmat. Should I be concerned? </p>
