8 month old help!

**little angels** · 02-10-2008, 10:39 AM

Hi everyone,

I am currently caring for an 8 month old boy. He suprisingly can walk and run even though sometimes hes a bit wobbly. I need some ideas for activities to do with him beacuse at the moment all hes interested in is picking up the toys braking them or throwing them!

Thanx

Rolling a ball, kicking a soft ball if he's walking, toys he can stand and play with at a low level table, push along toys to improve his walking.

He's obviously a quick learner, my mindee 19mnths has just started walking over the last 3wks!

There might be some ideas for a throwing schema here -

I have a thrower but hes almost 2 and outside its ok but inside it gets a bit much doesnt it. I just kept sitting and encouraging him to roll the ball, push the cars, play with the pop up toys etc to try and encourage him to play inside....2 months on and we are there and he rarely throws in the house.
Iv also got a treasure basket for the younger ones which he still loves
