I guess most of not all babies won't really be playing (with a toy) until their 2nd month. They're happy enough playing on their own. My son's playtime involved stretching his arms as if punching in the air. Before his 2nd month, his only toy was a soft rattle (a small caterpillar from Brightstarts). He was happy sitting on his bouncer to watch TV (the colors and moving objects on the screen distract --- and entertain him).
But sooner or later babies will
have to play with something else. We only started buying toys when he turned 3 months. We didn't even spend as much, since most of the gifts he got for his Christening were toys, clothes and more toys. So far, here's to give us an idea of how babies' toys cost nowadays (in the Philippines)1. Brightstarts Musical Play Gym: Hop Along theme (available in other themes) - P2,000.00
2. Brightstarts Tummy Time Turtle Prop - 1,000.00
3. Fisherprice 2-in-1 Turtle Gym - free when you get a Rainforest Jumperoo at Toy Town in Eastwood City Mall
4. Fisherprice Rainforest Jumperoo (available in Precious Planet & Galloping fun themes too) -P11,999.00
5. Fisherprice Cover N' Play Bouncer - P2,700.00
6. Fisherprice Teether - P288.00
7. Brightstarts Soft Rattle: Yellow Caterpillar - P280.00
Eventually he will outgrow these and the rest of his toys. But we plan to keep some of them as memorabilia of his childhood, while others, we may give away or even sell. :)
