Teethers, Rattles, Tummy time and Play-Mats...We had almost run out of ideas to buy new kind of toy for my little one, since he had already started to crawl when he was 6 months old! We were looking out for new toys something for him to identify vivid colors and at the same time to play. Battery operated toys were getting more attractive, so that he will watch them and get distracted!
And kids are kids... even the most expensive of the toys were broken within no time.
And what did these toys do? You put in the battery and switch it on, they have colorful flash lights and music. When they hit something, they turn around and move in other direction!
So I had a heap of such type of toys, Helicopter, Cow, Winnie the Pooh Train, Ferrari, a small dog, A Chariot driven by Horse, Winnie the Pooh Boat, a Monkey, and more. My son crawled down always to catch them from moving and broke them.
Most of them have have very loud music (preloaded rhymes or some crazy music) that drives you even more crazy. Furthermore, have no volume controllers, they have sharp edges, and not made of child safe quality materials. They do attract the kid at the first instance but they do not have any role to play but to run around making so much of noise. Imagine two or three such toys at the same time running around here and there! After sometime, they start giving you a headache [Laughing]. They are strong battery suckers. I had to run to the stores every now and then to buy them as each toy required a minimum of three.
I would never recommend them to babies who have already started crawling. You might wanna try on kids who are yet to crawl to bribe them to crawl come to the toy!
