We kind of go from toy to toy, and I also just follow him around the apartment as he explores and I kind of narrate what he's doing. I also agree with tupperware and utensils (like spatulas and wooden spoons). He loves that stuff! He's also at the age where he likes to put things in and take them out of boxes, so big cardboard boxes are a hit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-for-fun-at-home-with-your-9-month-old#post-1094142 Wed, 18 Sep 2013 08:02:42 +0000 immabeetoo 1094142@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He loves his click clack walker, wooden blocks, balls of any type, musical toys like shakers and tambourines. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-for-fun-at-home-with-your-9-month-old#post-1094140 Wed, 18 Sep 2013 08:02:15 +0000 honeybear 1094140@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You could get some blocks and build things for her, or just use plastic cups/boxes. Crawling over and knocking down a tower Mom built was a big hit at that stage, and I feel like it sets them up nicely for building later on. Also, LO's obsession with balls started around then. We just rolled them across the floor at that point. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-for-fun-at-home-with-your-9-month-old#post-1094133 Wed, 18 Sep 2013 07:58:39 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1094133@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We still really struggle with this at age 2. She's really tired after daycare and its hard to get her to play nicely by herself. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-for-fun-at-home-with-your-9-month-old#post-1094095 Wed, 18 Sep 2013 07:33:24 +0000 fancyfunction 1094095@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Besides playing together on the floor, I like to have dance parties with her where I'll put on some music and dance her around. I also read to her a lot and let her have some independent play time in her pack and play. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-for-fun-at-home-with-your-9-month-old#post-1094076 Wed, 18 Sep 2013 07:22:41 +0000 bushelandapeck 1094076@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO loves his push toys and small musical instruments. He's also perfectly happy to play in the tupperware drawer-no toys necessary! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-for-fun-at-home-with-your-9-month-old#post-1094064 Wed, 18 Sep 2013 07:17:11 +0000 DillonLion 1094064@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't really buy a ton of toys (or any whatsoever, they've all been gifts). She's at daycare all day so she plays with all kinds of stuff there. </p> <p>But now that our entire evenings aren't taken up by marathon nursing sessions &amp;cat naps, we are bored! I guess I need to get some more toys. </p> <p>Any suggestions? I would love something with a long shelf life :) </p>
