7 months: Curiosity
As baby’ s awareness grows, put toys and objects into a container with a lid and make a hole in the top. This means that the baby is not able to see the whole toy, and needs to extend his curiosity to find out what is in the container. Your baby will have a strong drive to explore.
Gingerbread Cottage are taking $ 50 off your first months account when you enrol with them!
15 months: Carry, pushing and pulling
Pushing, pulling and carrying objects are examples of activities your child may add to his walking skills.
Give your child large, lightweight objects to carry, try a large ball, stuffed animals, cushion and an old purse.
Pull toys are popular. Pulling promotes the ability to walk backwards.
