My baby boy will be 4 months old on christmas eve and not sure what type of toys to get him there is a lot to choose from. Should i buy for the age that he is at christmas time or for a bit older?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! 🙂

At that age buying a bunch of gifts is really silly. Just get him things he needs and one toy. If he is turning over, get him a toy that makes noise and has lights and will encourage him to crawl toward it.

I wouldn’t go over the age limit of six months. Is he teething? My kids always like those material books that sounded like there was some kind of paper inside them and they had hard plastic on the edges for them to chew on. Is he lifting his head? Can he pay attention for a little bit? If so, maybe an aquamat. It’s just a mat you fill with water and there’s stuff that floats around on the inside. He just has to be supervised. Anyway. I’m sure you’ll find what’s best for him.

Honestly I would go for toys alittle bit older. Probably more like 6 month old toys. Get him a few little things for now, unless he’s already got plenty. At 6 months they are when they really start exploring things more. They’ll be alot more useful to him at 6 months. Now, my son is 5 months, and he is just now starting to really show intrest in toys. He did before, but now its longer periods of time and alot more intrested. He’ll be 6 months Christmas Day, so I’m pretty excited!!!

Always buy for an older child.
Keep his mind stimulated.
Anything to do with motor skills, hand eye
co-ordination is good at the age.
He will grow out of everything so quickly.
Enjoy your time together.
