Toy of the Day: Stairs (7M8D)

23 December 2016 (7M8D): Now that Baby FECS can crawl, I decided to practise climbing stairs with her. 

Toy of the Day: Natural Rubber Giraffe (7M7D)

22 December 2016 (7M7D): A Giraffe made of natural rubber, a gift from Lyn. Baby FECS liked it a lot. She immediately brought it to her mouth.

Toy of the Day: IKEA play tunnel (7M6D)

21 December 2016 (7M6D): Baby FECS crawling through the IKEA's play tunnel for the first time today, thanks to big brother's demonstration.

Toy of the Day: Montessori Ice Sensory Bowl (7M5D)

20 December 2016 (7M5D): This is using the sense of touch to stimulate baby's development, making the brains more aware of the hands.

Your baby may or may not like it. Stop when she showed that she had enough of the cold fingers.

What's that? It feels cold.

Hmmm... let me find out how it tastes...

Toy for the Day: Montessori Fabric Sensory Tray (7M5D)

20 December 2016 (7M5D): I gave her the fabric sensory tray containing different types of fabric, i.e. fur, towel, silk, knitted cloth. She played for only a short while. I gave her this before, for the novelty wasn't there anymore. She loved the fur last time, but today, she didn't touch it at all. She only went for the silk today.

Toy of the Day: Melissa & Doug Latches Wooden Activity Board (7M4D)

19 December 2016 (7M4D): Baby FECS learning about opening and closing. She of course didn't use all the aspects of the toy, but just flipping the doors and windows. The manufacturer should thank me, now they can reduce the recommended age to babies from 6 months and up :-) In fact babies can many things. It is usually us adults who limit them :-)

Toy of the Day: Knock A Ball Toy (7M4D)

19 December 2016 (7Y4D): For teaching object permanence in a fun way - drop a ball and see it roll down and come out from the bottom. At this stage, baby can't drop the ball herself yet, but may enjoy the ball rolling down the track. Our Little FECS could drop the ball himself, when he turned 1 year.

Toy of the Day: Montessori Knobbed Cylinder - Set 2 (7M2D)

17 December 2016 (7M2D): Today, I tried a set that is easier for her - lighter and not so deep. I took away the smaller and deeper pieces.

Toy of the Day: Montessori Knobbed Cylinder (6M30D)

15 December 2016 (6M30D): At this stage, this is just for baby to touch, feel and mouth the objects as part of their exploration. This set is too deep for her, will try a shallower depth set for her tomorrow. This toy comes in a smaller baby version, but ours is the normal version. Will try my sister's baby version, when we are in Singapore :-)

This toy needs demonstration. Once I have done that, I could see Baby FECS tries to imitate me, but it will be some time, before she could do it by herself.

The baby version is available from Amazon:
