My boys now 9 months, but back when he was younger, i used: Water play mat great fir tummy time and with summer approaching! Toys that made noises, especially rubber ducks that had the hole in the bottom (for use out of water) as thry would make a squeeking noise it always made him laugh! We used "never touch a" books they have feely touchy silicone, and he still loves them to this day! Bath times were always funn too The tiktoc viral dancing crab was fun for tummy time, and I got a few smiles We also have a projector with all sorts of themes, so it would make the room dark, put that on with some music, and use light up toys, etc for sensory play Hope this may help a little! It gets easier. They start to entertain themselves a bit more when sitting up and especially crawling ! Haha goodluck mama ! X
I was running into the same problem, I just went to Pinterest and did DIYs play time for the baby’s age , most of them are stuff you have around your house! I still use these ideas up to this day and she loves them!
Even just walking them into rooms they don’t normally go in, give them things they haven’t seen before, walks, lights in a dark room, baby massage, sing songs, development practice, putting objects in water and doing tummy time while playing with them, sensory in a bag. There will be days that are boring and it’s so hard at this age to keep them entertained.
Take baby outside my girl loves to sit in the sun with music. Get some banana so baby play with it they like the texture.
My son is the same in age, will be 6 months in a few days and what he loves is peek a book which is also very great for their development.
