Sharing Max's learning activities and toys at 11 months.  As usual, it's a hit or miss, so I will be indicating which material is a hit for Max and the materials which are totally ignored.

Teeny Weeny Tot School

 

We’re celebrating a few milestones! 

First Vito can now sit upright in his chair. I used this opportunity to make him look at books and practice turning pages to master pincer grasp :) 

And we started to wean on his own! He insisted actually. I was feeding him and wanted to take spoon from me which I did. I gave him the opportunity to feed himself and he actually did! Well he didn’t get to finish his lunch but it’s so AMAZING to see him trying to scoop the food from the his bow and put it in his mouth! He was doing it OVER and OVER until he got tired until Mommy has to do it for him :)

Sensory and weaning at the same time using a jelly!

This soft sensory blocks is not a favourite at the moment. But I do love their colours and their different textures.  For now he just keeps on mouthing them and using them as teethers  (yes these are teethers as well). 

He loves to touch it using his pointer fingers though.

More pincer grasp practice using the chunky puzzles.

 

Oh and definitely loves my homemade shakers :)

 

I’m not into sensory bins as I don’t have the space to store them but we do have lots of boxes of animal figures (Mavi’s), and whenever I need him to get busy… I just give him these boxes to explore.  He loves to take the animal figures from the box and put them just on the side.

For language, we did animal farms last week.
