- Oh, and Robin (almost 11 mo) is into manipulating objects - dropping
- balls into cups, then taking them out (these are small balls - not
- choke hazards, but easy for him to handle - he stole them from our
- loved Discovery Toy Strike a Ball). I also found a Fisher Price House
- meant for the old large 'little people' that has a door that opens and
- shuts, a roof that can be opened, and a hole in the roof leading to a
- slide that drops the small objects dropped in out the side of the
- house. He loves manipulating it.
-
- So some easy to handle balls and cups (we use both our commercial
- stacking cup set and various plastic containers from food) can make
- for a fun playing session, with the baby doing most of the work.
-
- He also enjoys manipulating large objects, like long wooden spoons and
- other long objects. He holds them and sits there just waving them back
- and forth, just by moving his wrist. I think he's experimenting with
- the feel of it. He also pushes his little Tykes car/walker around the
- house instead of riding on it. Sometimes he pushes it around the house
- with his sister (32 lbs!) riding on it, and she's holding her feet up,
- she's not helping!
