Hey all!
My DS is 11 mos old. Here are the things I got him at 8-9 mos. He didn't play with all of them "as designed" right away, but I enjoyed showing him what they were for and he enjoyed dumping them and exploring them too. Now at 11 mos he knows how to play with them as designed.
1. Large knob wooden puzzle with 4 shapes- make sure it is large and thick with smooth edges.
2. Simple shape sorter with 4 shapes
3. Plastic Nesting cups
4. toy piano
5. Large ball and lots of other balls of various sizes.
6. hammer and balls set
7. A set of wooden blocks that comes in a little wooden wagon ( I took all the smaller blocks out)
8. Tons of board books. We read them every day and now he gets them on his own and turns the pages and looks at them.
Basically he loved anything he can take in and out and dump!! And the other great thing about these toys is that they are pretty inexpensive. Some of them were recommended for babies a few months older than him, so I just made sure that they were safe for him if that was the case. I can't tell you how many hours of enjoyment he has had and still does with these toys.
