What toys for a 5 month old ?
in Baby
Now charlotte is more aware and reaching out for stuff i'm kinda at a loss as to how to entertain her, especially when its not possible for me to sit and play with her all the time.
Currently she has the fisherprice rainforest bouncy chair which she goes in, a playmay with dangly toys, and a door bouncer. Plus some soft alphabet blocks and a bus thing with pop up animals.
I'm just worried that she gets bored or not stimulated enough. I dont have the time to sit and play with her all the time, and she doesnt sit up on her own so its not like I can sit her in a load of toys and leave her to get on with if, if that makes sense.
What toys can I give her, or what can I do to entertain her when I cant be there directly ??![:\](https://forum.madeformums.com/resources/emoji/confused.png ":\")

Rainforest booster seat (instead of highchair) has great toys.

These are Darcys fave toys at mo (5 1/2 months)
We also like to go to carboots to get activity toys, saves a few pennies.
Hopefully Charlotte will sit up soon and then will be able to really appreciate her toys. I think its gonna be a few more weeks till she does sit though, for now if you put her in the sit position and let go she either ends up folded in half with her head between her legs, or tumbled off to the side !
