Features of developmental activities for children 11 months old
Since a child at 11 months is completely dependent on adults, adults must understand exactly what he wants. As a rule, it is enough to follow a few simple recommendations.
- Do not limit your child's physical activity. By the age of one year, many already know how not only to crawl, but also to walk quite quickly - let them walk if they like it so much. Have you already taken care of the security of your apartment in advance?
- There is no need to rely on the child’s prudence and the effectiveness of his prohibitions - it is better to remove from reach in advance everything that could be dangerous: sharp, fragile, traumatic objects, etc.
- Consider your child's age, size, temperament and other individual characteristics. Don’t rush him, don’t force him to rush behind you and get nervous that the baby is late. Don't needlessly scare your child.
- Accustom your child to everyday activities: always explain all your actions, and sometimes even ask for help - for example, ask to take baby juices out of the bag or put vegetables into a bowl.
- Do not scold for failures or for the fact that the child deliberately destroys objects. The time will come - and he will definitely learn to create, but for now, perhaps, he only knows how to destroy. This is also a stage of development, and no less important.
Playing with your baby
During this period, children become more focused.
The child can independently hold a toy, throw a ball, or close a box. In principle, the toys that he played with at 9 months, but a little more complicated, are suitable for the baby. Due to this, preference should be given to games that will develop these skills.
The pyramid is very popular at this age.
With the help of parents, the child can assemble it and enjoy the result achieved.
This is a great time to master finger paints. There will be a lot of joy. When choosing a color palette, you need to voice it. In this way, the child will quickly remember the colors and begin to distinguish them, and in the future, be able to correctly name their names.
Already closer to one year old, the baby begins to absorb all the information received. This is why you need to use educational games. The child should be placed in a position that is comfortable for him and in a comfortable place. If he is in the mood for communication, you can introduce him to animals, vegetables or fruits using pictures. You need to show the pictures one by one and talk about each animal separately. Let the baby remember all this.

Naturally, no books or colorful toys can fully replace playing in the fresh air, since it is precisely this kind of pastime that has a beneficial effect on a child’s development.
Also very relevant are developing short poems that accompany dressing, bathing or washing. You should let your child look at colorful books on their own. Nowadays, you don’t even have to worry that the book will remain torn, because there are special editions for children with pages made of thick cardboard. Studying books will be very interesting for the baby, thus he will learn to understand the world around him.
In the end, it is worth noting that ten months is an excellent age in the development of a baby. But you need to carefully monitor his height, weight, general development and, of course, health.
Developmental activities for 11-month-old children: examples and tips
Surely, by this age your child has already acquired his favorite games, and you can, of course, return to them from time to time to please your baby, but each age has its own developmental activities. For children 11 months old they look approximately as follows.
- Teach your child to notice inconsistencies. In order to understand how much the child has mastered everything you teach him, from time to time you need to arrange small checks. For example, pointing to a cat, ask your child if this animal really says “woof-woof”? Let the child, despite his trust in you, be able to make his own decisions.
- Teach your child to run errands. By this age, the baby already has a good amount of knowledge. Even though most children don't speak yet, they know what a teddy bear or mom's favorite cup looks like. It is useful from time to time to ask the child to find the desired object and, having selected it from several extra ones, proudly deliver it to his mother. For praise and a kiss, of course.
- Play theatre. When telling a child a fairy tale, use his favorite toys for clarity. For example, the fairy tale “Terem-Teremok” can be told by “inviting” pets and plush animals to play the roles of heroes. You'll see, such a new approach to a fairy tale will incredibly amuse and delight the child, especially if you allow him to conduct the “casting” on his own.
- Introduce your child to the fine arts. Do you think it’s too early to draw at 11 months? But no, but you should understand that it is too early to expect masterpieces from the baby. The child will most likely draw with sweeping movements - prepare large sheets of paper and safe crayons (what if the child wants to try them on his teeth?). Show him how fun it is to trace objects - for example, your palm or a doll.
- Developmental activities for 11-month-old children include playing with water. Surprisingly, children find peace in them, since such entertainment allows them to easily burn off excess energy. Make sure that the water is warm and, of course, provide the child with everything he needs - special toys for bathing or, at worst, just interesting objects: a bright washcloth, a soap dish, a funny bottle of baby shampoo, etc.
- By stimulating the child’s physical activity, invite him to conquer a new peak - to climb the stairs. Holding the child by the hand, let him understand that he is safe, but do not drag him along with you, let him move on his own, so that later he can fully enjoy his achievement.
Of course, educational activities for 11-month-old children require a lot of strength and patience from moms and dads, but for this you will be rewarded handsomely - your child will definitely grow up inquisitive and confident in his own abilities.
Activities with a 10 month old baby
Useful tips
A 10-month-old child loves frequent changes of activities, and games should take place not only within the walls of the Don, but also outside them. Kids like the change of environment. Walking to the supermarket, visiting grandma or friends, and traveling on public transport are beneficial for the child and his mother.
Parents should devote time to playing with their baby, because they already have a certain organization and even a script. It is important that both parents fully engage with the child, because they have different approaches to games. Dads contribute more to the physical development of children, and mothers pay more attention to the development of their mental abilities. There must be an equal balance between sports and intellectual games.
It's time to play
New around
For different voices . Talk to your child with different intonations, changing your voice. You can use a cardboard tube for this. You can pronounce the sounds yourself and let your baby try it.
"Sounding" cube. Glue together several cubes of one color and one of another from paper, into which put a bell or several coins. See how the child looks for the “ringing” cube and whether he can distinguish it by color.
Miracle box. Take a small cardboard box or make one yourself. Make holes on both sides of it so that the child’s finger can fit through. Cover the inside of the box walls with materials that feel different to the touch. Invite your baby to stick his finger into the hole and feel what’s inside, describe its possible sensations (soft, slippery, hard, etc.).
We train our ears . You can hide a mechanical watch or a musical toy, and let your baby look for the object, listening to the sound. This is a great way to train your baby's hearing organ.
Little musician. Take an empty paper box or plastic bottle and a wooden spoon. Show your child how to drum on such an “instrument.” Now let the baby try it himself.
We drive the car. Show what needs to be done to make the car roll on the floor. The child will quickly learn to roll the car himself.
We talk on the phone . Talking to a child on a toy phone is not only an interesting, but also a useful game that will help develop the speech apparatus.
Developing coordination
We play outside. While on a walk, you can invite your child to collect pebbles, leaves or sticks. This activity has a positive effect on motor activity and will help develop the sense of touch.
We tear off the strips . Glue strips of adhesive paper to the surface of the table, leaving the other end free. Show your child how to lift them off the table.
Repeat after me. Parents are always role models for young children, so they will definitely enjoy this game. Perform simple movements and let your child repeat after you.
Balance and the inflatable ring . Inflate the swimming ring and place it in front of your baby. Invite him to place several cubes on its surface. The child will see that this is not so easy to do, he will receive an initial concept of balance. An inflatable ring is also a great bath toy.
Reach for the toy. Is your baby already starting to stand on his feet? Then give him this task: put the toys he loves on a low table. By reaching for these things, the baby will train its orientation in space.
“Stringing” toys. Let the child put various plastic rings on the pyramid rod, or use a stick for this.
Three toys. When the child already holds a toy in each of his hands, try giving him a third one - how will he get out of this situation?
We make a decision
Grouping items . The baby will be guided by the size of objects if he is asked to stack them on top of each other. You can use, for example, plastic cups, various boxes that differ in their parameters.
Boxes. For this activity, take three boxes: two round and one square. Place the cookies in the last one in front of the baby, and ask the child to find them.
Filling the empty . Give your child an empty coffee can, cereal box, or plastic bottle. Let the baby try to fill them himself, say, with clothespins.
We are looking for a photo of dad . When dad is not at home, the baby misses him. You can play with his photo - hide it, and let the child look for it. Help the baby by giving tips.
Get a toy . Place a small toy in a box or bag. The baby must get it. This way you will form in your child the concepts of “inside” and “outside”.
We pull the cord. Tie a string to the toy and let the baby, sitting on his high chair, pull the string and take it out.
Daily routine
It's time to eat
Empty boxes . Containers for various products (boxes, jars) can be an excellent building material. You and your child can build houses and bridges, as well as drill them.
Your own warehouse. In the kitchen, clear out a drawer or shelf in the nightstand so that your baby can organize his “kitchen” utensils for games.
Like an adult . You can place a highchair next to the common table, so the child will feel like a full-fledged member of the family. And while the food may fly under the table or spill over it, a friendly family will be together at one table.
Let's swim.
Foam and bubbles . These are great games to play while swimming. You and your child can make lush foam in the bath or blow soap bubbles.
Let's complete the task . Give your child simple tasks: “wash your feet,” “soap your tummy.” The baby will be pleased with such independence.
Rain . You can easily organize rain in the bathroom: make holes in a plastic bottle and fill it with water. The baby will pour water into it, and it will pour out through the holes - such a “homemade rain”.
It's time to rest
Fairytale shadows. You can create a real theater with a small flashlight. Turn off the lights, place or stand the flashlight on the table and use your hands to draw different shapes. This performance can replace a bedtime story.
A modern fairy tale . You can turn on the disc on the player with fairy tales. There are also many toys on the market that tell stories. When your little one starts to fall asleep, turn down the volume.
