We set up the activity gym for her to encourage tummy time. She didn't really start interacting with the toys till about 6-8 wks though, I think? lavender on "when did you first give a "toy" to LO?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-first-give-a-toy-to-lo#post-299814 Tue, 18 Sep 2012 12:23:07 +0000 lavender 299814@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Immediately.

I introduced it at about 1 month old. <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Lamaze-High-Contrast-Discovery-Activity-Gallery/dp/B002WN2ASI/ref=cm_cmu_pg__header" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Lamaze-High-Contrast-Discovery-Activity-Gallery/dp/B002WN2ASI/ref=cm_cmu_pg__header</a> mediagirl on "when did you first give a "toy" to LO?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-first-give-a-toy-to-lo#post-299661 Tue, 18 Sep 2012 11:12:51 +0000 mediagirl 299661@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Pretty much immediately. We put her on the playmat and she fell in love with one of her dangly toys (the octopus). That was the first thing she started cooing at, super cute. Then we would hand her the Windkle. She would grab the Winkle unintentionally many times. Finally, at 3 months, she grabs it, shoves it in her mouth and really seems to enjoy having something in her hands (and mouth). pastemoo on "when did you first give a "toy" to LO?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-first-give-a-toy-to-lo#post-299647 Tue, 18 Sep 2012 11:06:07 +0000 pastemoo 299647@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @looch: me too--immediately kiddosc on "when did you first give a "toy" to LO?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-first-give-a-toy-to-lo#post-299550 Tue, 18 Sep 2012 10:29:54 +0000 kiddosc 299550@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I think around 3-4 weeks I would lay him on his activity mat with the toys dangling over him. He was interested in looking at them, especially if I shook the bar and made them move. It took another couple weeks for him to start batting at anything though. looch on "when did you first give a "toy" to LO?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-first-give-a-toy-to-lo#post-299505 Tue, 18 Sep 2012 10:10:34 +0000 looch 299505@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I used to dangle stuffed animals like the Hungry Caterpillar and a Lamaze brand giraffe over my son's head as soon as we got home from the hospital. My son was very awake, so we had lots of hours to fill! matador84 on "when did you first give a "toy" to LO?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-first-give-a-toy-to-lo#post-299496 Tue, 18 Sep 2012 10:06:49 +0000 matador84 299496@https://boards.hellobee.com/ When did you introduce a "toy" to LO?
