I think my 15 week old is getting bored with the baby einstein water gym thing I have for him. Any other toys that work?

non-breakable mirrors are great, babies love to see themselves and Mom making faces! My kids played more with stuff I had around the house - plastic bowls and spoons, small plastic balls (about the size of tennis balls), anything that encourages them to be on their tummies and active.

Things that are high contrast such as black and white and red, things that move or make noise when they touch them. My daughter has a lot of those Link a doos...which are great because they apparently come in seemingly millions of sizes, shapes, textures. They link together with big plastic rings and you can also buy little sets which come with different toys. They attach to car seats, shopping carts, baby swings, diaper bags, walkers, jumpers,...anywhere you could imagine. Very durable and most are machine washable. (I've washed the entire collection many times.)
It's easy to get carried away though so I tend to keep one or two everywhere and switch them out. She's 9 months old now and still loves to play with them. They've been a lifesaver more than once.
The best way for you to see how much variety there is to search Ebay with 'Linkadoos'. They are made by Fisher-Price, so you can try their website too.

Why go for a "must have" toy? Your four-month-old doesn't care what's popular or trendy or getting the big push by Mad Ave!
Go for something simple and safe. Walk down the infant aisle of the toy store and see what draws you. What do you find yourself playing with? Chances are your son might like the same thing.
What toys did you have as a baby, or did your siblings or cousins have? Balls? Girl dolls and boy dolls? Plastic animals? Those "busy boxes" with mirrors and doors and the like? Building blocks?
Go for something from Fisher Price or Sesame Street or Playskool. Go for something fun, safe, and creative. Make sure you read the label and that the toy you choose is designed for your son's age range.

Now firstly let me say that I am being perfectly serious here, but the best toy that you could get is a box, simple plain cardboard box and time (obviously not closed in or sharp edged or unstable, etc). Assuming that this child has not been spoilt for toys, a box or similar will help to develop imagination, enhance learning ability. This is done by the fact that the child will have to use there mind to create the enjoyment of using it, there by forming pathway within the brain that will remain forever. I AM being serious here and I hope this helps.

Something to chew on; such as, a teething ring toy. Something that
rattles.
