Neil Said:

When can I get a baby toys?

We Answered:

Fun stuff! Yes, he's normal. I bought toys for my nephew. I just looked at the age on the packaging. For Christmas I was able to purchase both 0-3 months and 3-6 months. What a great aunt you must be--already spoiling him with toys!! :)

Valerie Said:

We Answered:

If I were you, I would give it to the Goodwill, Salvation Army, or other charity.
It's always good to give to the less fortunate! ;)

What Do You Think About Educational Toys And Videos?

We Answered:

I completely agree with you.
People don't realize that these toys are actually sucking the creativity out of little minds. Soon, all they can think of is Tickle Me Elmo and wait till the toy tells you what to do next. After all toys talk now, so the kid doesn't actually have to think of games and things to do, just wait to be told.

What would be the Educational/playing toys for a 15 months girl baby who is affected with Down's Syndrome?

We Answered:

My four year old son has Down's Syndrome. Here's the kind of thing we've done, and you don't necessarily have to treat your niece any differently than you would other children. We just started by buying whatever toys you would for any other children, lots of different ones, and seeing what was most popular and then focussing on that. Your two main objectives are to engage the child, so they remain interested, and to have fun with them. From that the learning will come, you don't have to force feed them information at 15 months.
Primarily, when playing, always make sure you're communicating clearly. Talk clearly when looking at the child, and don't assume she won't understand you. Assume she will, and take it from there.
Reading, always make some time to go through simple story books, few words, simple, uncluttered pictures. Read and point out the words on the page. This will help her understand what objects are called.
Although toys can be bought which aim to develop specific areas, overall, the key thing I'd advise is to have fun. That will only encourage interest in the toy, and playing more, and developing interest in other toys etc.
You have things like walker, which are to help the child learn how to walk, having a handle they can hold on to connected to a buggy like thing.
You have toys like blocks, building towers, selecting by colour, shape etc which can help the child develop finer skills.
Simple things like torches/lights, blowing bubbles etc can be very stimulating/entertaining and educational.

I'd take a look at http://www.downsed.org/ who publish lots of fantastic, well researched articles, and have an online store so you can buy educational toys.
Also check out http://www.makaton.org/ for some information on fun ways to help develop learbing and communication through a form of sign language - it's been wonderfully helpful for us.
Some suggested ideas for younger babies, but some might be applicable to your niece.
And sorry to sound critical, but you shouldn't refer to your niece as 'a Down's Syndrome'. She is your niece, primarily, her own person, like any other child. The fact she has Down's Syndrome is obviously a part of her, but she shouldn't be defined by that. Those of us who care for people who have Down's Syndrome, whether as a parent, family member, friend or professional, have a duty to work hard to ensure that people with Down's Syndrome are treated fairly, and not stigmatised. Sorry, rant over, have fun with your niece!

new innovative baby toys/educational products?

We Answered:

We have a 10 month baby and we dont' beleive in introducing TV or computer stuffs to him at this age. We prefer him to learn the basic things.

We have a lot of home made toys for him. Gather a few plastic cups and put them up like a rising tower. He enjoys it when he can push the cups down.

Got a milk bottle and put some rice and colorful paper in it. He shake it and listen to the sound. Put other items in different bottle and he learn of other sounds.

Discuss It!
