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.

Making Noise - Baby's First Music Activity

Around 4 to 6 months, when the baby can manipulate objects, it's a perfect time to give her all kinds of noise-making materials, including rattles, shakers and music boxes.

If you are looking for some safe baby music in toys, here are some of our favourites!
