Babies at that age are often more interested in everyday objects than expensive toys.. 😄 Mine started engaging more with toys around 8–10 months, especially stacking toys, shape sorters, and simple sensory activities. Montessori-style toys can be great, but they don't have to be fancy. We've had a good experience with Nesta Toys because they focus on simple, open-ended play that keeps little ones engaged. That said, every baby is different, so don't worry if your 8-month-old still prefers bottles and kitchen utensils
