Girls Just Want to Have Fun!

One of the my concerns was "How do I entertain this child in a hotel room, on an airplane, etc!?!?" So we brought all these wonderful things and guess what? She was mostly interested in the liners we had for her bottles. So we would hide them in our suitcase and play a game of "hide and seek". I know it sounds rather lame, but she loved it!


I love this picture. Notice the toys around her and what does she have? The wonderful bottle liners. I bought that purple ball at Walmart in the pet section, which is rather tiny. There is actually a dog in the zoo in Guangzhou!

Ok, back to the subject! Anna loved those DK Touch and Feel books. The farm animals is still a favorite. Most of these children have never felt varying textures so this sort of activity is not only fun, but excellent for them developmentally. Some families brought stacking cups which went over well. A blow up beach ball is a good toy and easy to pack. You can buy lucky drums in China and those were fun for the babies. Bubbles are neat and easy to pack. Anna did like the toy cell phone we had for her. I think she was more into the fact that she could open and close it rather than push the buttons. Enjoy! Shopping for baby toys is so much fun!
