Games to play with an 11-month old

Oh yes, B loves when I put clothes pegs on her shirt. She likes pulling them off.

They say from 40 weeks on you can introduce play dough

500ml cake flour
200ml salt
500ml water
30ml cream of tartar
30ml oil
2.5ml vanilla essence
food colouring
mix ingredients in a pot. Place pot on hot plate, stir dough until a ball forms. keep dough in fridge.

You can also do 'fingerpaint'
1 cup sugar
1 cup cake flour
1 cup cold water
3 cups boiling water
powder paint or food colouring
mix the sugar, flour and cold water, add boiling water and cook two to three minutes until thick, colour with paint or colouring.

Or give a blob of whipped cream or something safe to eat but still smudge around

A nice mess but they love it - don't wear light clothes!

Oh yes and go through your repertoire of baby songs with clapping and movements so she can start learning them and joining in on the movements

The sensory box idea

Picture books (those hard cardboard books) explaining each picture.
Stacking cups and knocking them down (you'll do the building she'll do the knocking)
Putting things in containers and taking them out.
You can do a sensory box (will find a link to one)
Rolling balls etc
Letting her put lids on your pots and pans and take them off.
