MomBloggersPlanet Cutest Baby with TOYS Contest





Wow.. mummy is so excited, this is the 1st time mummy sending your photo for online baby photo contest.. hopefully we win something here :)




The contest is organize by Mom Bloggers Planet which mummy just join the membership recently:






Here are some of the photos mummy took for you with your favourite bear-bear...


This bear-bear was given by a promoter kakak when we went to Tesco Puchong last 2 weeks. Mummy is queueing at the cashier & daddy & you are waiting. Then this kakak saw you & gave you the bear-bear 'cos she said you're cute :) Thanks to the kakak, this bear-bear has become your favourite toys since then.


Before sleeping, posing with bear-bear... after a while, hug bear-bear to sleep... with your pacifier in your mouth, bear-bear is safe... (otherwise kena bite!!!)













Baby's name: Danish Tahqif Abdullah



DOB: 1st April 2009




Wake up in the morning, posing with bear-bear again... after a while, hand started to reach bear-bear & move towards the mouth... Lastly, bear-bear kena bite!!! haha








Here's some photos to show how aggressive you're on bear-bear.. causing the photo so blur as you're moving.. geram sangat with your bear-bear..






First bite the bear-bear hand.. when mummy called you, you looked at mummy 'huh?'.. Then continue with the bite again.. don't care who is calling at all...






Ok, after the photo session, here are some opinion on the usage of Toys in early childhood learning:



1. Educational or learning baby toys are geared toward stimulation of the five senses – sight, sound, and touch in particular. E.g. toy blocks, rubber animal toys, small mirrors, and musical instruments without sharp noises.



2. Another learning aspect toys encourage is playing one on one, whether with a parent or another child, and this can contribute to physical, social, and emotional development.



3. Toy play can encourage imaginative and fantasy play. E.g. a cardboard box. One day the box was a train. Later in the week it morphed into an ocean liner. Children eagerly discover what had happened to the large cardboard box over night. Wonderful interactions took place inside the ever-changing box.



4. Security feeling. E.g. with a soft toys, baby can hug & feel security and be able to sleep on his own.

Even with so many benefit of toys, but we still need to consider the Safety of the toys before giving it to baby.






What to look for:


a) Always follow all manufacturers' age recommendations. Some toys have small parts that can cause choking, so heed all warnings on a toy's packaging.


b) Check to see if the toy meets the series of standards on toy safety developed by Department of Standards Malaysia & Ministry of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs.


c) Make sure the toy is unbreakable and has no sharp edges. It should be large enough that it can't be swallowed or lodged in the throat.


d) It shouldn't have any small parts such as eyes, wheels, or buttons that can be pulled loose, and it should be strong enough to withstand chewing.


e) There should be no parts that could become pinch points for small fingers.


f) There shouldn't be strings longer than 7 inches (18 centimeters).


g) Homemade toys should be carefully evaluated. They may not have undergone testing for safety.






SAFETY NOTES: Never give balloons or latex gloves to a child younger than age 8. A child who is blowing up or chewing on a balloon or gloves can choke by inhaling them. Inflated balloons pose a risk because they can pop without warning and be inhaled. In addition, never give your infant vending machine toys, which often contain small parts.



Last but not least, thanks to PhotoBookMalaysia & AliceWonders for the contest prizes..
