What activities to do for 5 month old to stimulate?

Question

Hello, we are 5 months and we roll around, and scoot and get easily bored with our toys. What else I can do to stimulate her? we play with the ball, activity gym mat, and got stacking rings and lots of rattles and teething toys. But seems she is bored with them - we been having same stuff since she was 2 months. We do not have money to buy any additional toys since I quit my job to stay with her, but I am running out of ideas. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Answer 1

My son is also 5 months old and he loves the itsy bitsy spider, and this little piggy, and even patty cake! He gets so excited when the rain comes down and when i poke him, and of course wee wee wee lol....He is my pride and joy I must say! I love to see him smile =)

Answer 2

I agree with Ellieo4. Sometimes when my daughter is getting bored and fussy I will take her outside. She loves to look around and watch our dog run around in the yard. She also loves it when I read to her and sometimes we will just lay and talk ( I do most of the talking lol)

Answer 3

Get out of the house as much as possible. Take her for walks in the park, the mall...any where that she will see other people and experience new sights and sounds. Even a blanket in the backyard is big fun to a 5 month old.

At home try singing to her, reading, or carrying her around in a sling while you go about your day. She will love experiencing what you do throughout the day.

Take her for a walk in the carriage. Push her in a swing. Read a brightly colored book to her. Sing to her. Have her play with other babies her age.
