Knocking down towers, rolling balls, posting things in containers, musical toys, story reading, toys with buttons or levers.....

What about a treasure basket if the LO is quite tactile?

Sounds like you're doing a really good job btw!

Don't spend all your time doing observations, just a few will do to find out where he's at then add to them over time.

I love working with this age as they usually love everything you do and particularly enjoy you singing and interacting with them:)

I've got two almost 12 months olds at the moment, well by Xmas they will be.
They love interacting and especially if I pull funny faces or pretend to eat their hands :laughing:
The both look at me adoringly if I try to sing ;) Well at least they don't cry!

Yep its a lovely age, she makes my dd who is 2 belly laugh so much. Think the sillyer you are the more they love it.

You have only had child for 2 days so I would wait till you have gotten to know the child a bit more and then plan on what you know

Agree - don't do loads of observations -

However you may like to try some heuristic items (or things from kitchen cupboards) along with bags, boxes etc as children this age often like putting things in and out of containers.
