Exploring New Toys
By Her Dad | April 13, 2008
Ainsley’s always been a smiley, playful baby. However, in the past few weeks, she’s been particularly curious and playful. She loves to grab for things (anything that isn’t nailed or glued down, actually) and inspect it. She’s getting to finally play with some toys that were given to her some time ago (many before she was even born, actually). This morning, Angela got a couple more out of her toy chest for her to learn with. Here, she’s finding the different shapes inside the toy jar, pulling them out one at a time, and carefully inspecting each.
Here she’s playing with her ring stack toy. As with the bucket, she didn’t figure out intended method of play (placing the rings over the posts or putting the shapes in the proper holes on the jar). Instead, she just explored and played with the shapes and rings as she saw fit. I think inventing her own form of play, however simple, is just as important as figuring out the "rules" of each toy; at least for now.
Angela also got in on some of the playing. Ainsley enjoyed shaking the rings (they have various rattles and such in them). She got a real kick out of placing them on her feet, though, as she loves to play with her feet.
