All About Play
How your child plays now:
- He pulls himself up to stand using the furniture.
- He sits alone and stretches to reach a toy without toppling over.
- He can catch a suspended object or a ball rolled directly to him.
- His hands are more skilled and his movements are more deliberate and varied.
- He begins to make signs—lifting his arms to be picked up and banging a spoon to summon dinner.
Why your child will enjoy these toys now:
- Stacking, sorting and building toys
- Toys with dials and buttons
- Board books for patting, pointing, & talking
- Language development toys
- Toys to encourage physical development, such as standing & cruising
