11 Months Babies - Stimulating play

• Beat out a simple rhythm with a wooden spoon on an upturned pan and see if your baby can copy you.

• Tie a length of string to one of your baby’s toys and hide it under a bed or a sofa and see if he will pull on the string to retrieve the toy.

• Make a tunnel by draping a sheet between chairs and encourage your baby to crawl through it. You can also make an exciting tunnel by opening up two sides of a large cardboard box.
