Okay, we've hit the rainy season here in Malaysia and I'm stuck indoors with my 19mo who is teething and the clingiest child on the block!!
Since turning 18 months, he's suddenly so skillful with his little fingers that he takes a couple of minutes to finish off his toys, e.g. shape sorters, stacking pails, blocks, etc. So, he goes through them FAST and then throws them back into the toy box and doesn't want to look at them again. Sigh. Then he just wants Mommy around him. ACK.
I have 3 boxes of toys that I rotate every day at noon. But he is SO bored. We don't get out much. And I can't spend every waking hour with him because I have a 3mo baby, too.
He doesn't have a problem with independent play time as long as he finds the toy interesting. When baby is napping, I do activities with him, e.g. reading, playing with laundry, drawing, crafty stuff, cleaning floors, etc.
Then I realised that we haven't bought him any new toys since his 1st birthday, and maybe it is time to invest in a few good quality toys?
So PLEASE share with me, what toys do your lo's love? It is sale month and I need to go shopping soon!!
