Save the Drama….for Your Mama asked:


I know 0-3 aren’t able to do a whole lot, but when do they start to benefit from toys, like stacking blocks/rings, playing with pots and pans, and such?
0-3 months I mean. Not years.

    My daughter had no interest in toys for until she was about a year. she loved books however. just didn’t really do toys except for a riding car.
    My son (who was the second child) didn’t really get into toys until he was probably like 6 mos old. Once he was mobile he would “play.”
    Now he plays more than my daughter did at his age. Of course I think a lot of that is intimation of her and how she and I play together.

    Usually when they are able to explore by scooting and crawling is a good time to invest in blocks, baby legos, big balls etc. My kids started to really enjoy these types of toys around 5-6 months. Before that, they were content with mobiles, crib toys, a rattle, the swing, and the vibrating chair.

    8months and up - every kid is different. They are usually happy with one or two things around that age. Around a year is when they start exploring more..

    She started using little rings and infant toys around 2 months, like holding them and looking at them, that’s about it.

    Around 3-4 months they start playing, 6 months we did pots and pans, walkers
