How to entertain baby from 8 months to 12 month

Gone are the days when your baby stayed put where you placed them , most babies are now crawling, rolling or walking. Making entertaining them both more fun and difficult as its more work. Not only are you entertaining but having to baby proof and watch everything your little mover and shaker does.

Things i did to help keep my little one stimulated and busy:

• Blocks - let them build or breakdown them down
• Stacking cups - let them build or breakdown them down
• Thread items on string
• Put stuff in tin- i took my formula tins made holes in the lid and got her to post lid bottles or straws in.
• Throwing and kicking ball
• Water table

•        Push ribbons into the neck of  a bottle and pull out again. 

•        Sensory bag with hair gel or gelatin in a zip log bog. Add other small objects, such as googly eyes or sequins, if desired. Tape it to the window to explore in the sunlight.

•       Sensory foam with dish washing liquard and a little bit of water and food coloring in a food processor. Put on a tray to explore! 

•        Bubble magic : most babies are fascinated by bubbles. Sit your baby in a bouncy chair and blow bubbles around her. See how she follows the bubbles with her eyes as they float down. (be careful it slippy)

•        Texture bucket : Fill a bucket with cellophane cut into strips  and let them play with it – just watch that they don’t eat it .  You can also hide toys for them to find. 

         Have fun and enjoy your little mover and shaker
