I believe, almost every child has piles of toys. So does Maria. And I guess, in most cases they are all over the nursery or accurately in the box put there by caring hands of mum. Same case with Maria. She receives a new toy, plays with it max 5 min and that’s it. In the next days, she can play with it but it would be only for a very short time.
I understand it: child is a very fast learner and needs much more information than we supply him/her in the form of toys. So, I decided to help Maria continue explore the world and offer her toys which I usually play with in the kitchen (I have also rated these things according to the Maria's preference and duration of playing with the thing, 5-best, 1-worst):
1. colander – 4, interesting but not very long to play with;
2. wooden spoon – 3, keeps attention for short time period, too simple;
3. plastic bottle – 2, not very comfortable to hold;
4. jar top – 5, very good toy, easy to hold, makes sound if to knock with it;
5. sponge – 2, nice thing to take into the mouth, too short in keeping attention;
6. rubber gloves – 4, smooth surface, interesting texture;
7. washing machine – 5, very good at keeping attention, always some action and sound;
8. comb – 5, super-toy!
Actually, these are just some examples, but they are a lot of fun for Maria when I cook. One can think of many other adult toys that would suit for a child to play with (they need to be SAFE!!!). Nowadays many babies (future generation =)) are crazy about pults, mobiles, keyboard, mouse. Maria is not an exclusion that is why she is having her own PC mouse, which is out-of-order now and which I would give a 5!!! rating.
