best infant activity toys image

Okay so as part of a group project, I need to come up with a quick activity that doesn't require too many supplies, that would give insight to how a child with a learning disability of any kind would see, hear, or take in information. I found a great idea involving mirrors, where students had to trace stars but it was very difficult, however, I do not have the budget to supply mirrors for a whole class. I'd appreciate any ideas!
Answer
I think having a sensory project would be ideal. All you need is a few small cardboard boxes or shoe boxes.
Whether the student is blind already, or you can blind fold them you can have them guess what something is by their sensory.
In each box you will have objects they can touch, smell, hear, taste and a visual object.
>Touch you will have a rough and soft object in 2 separate boxes: Cotton Balls and Sand Paper
>As for taste: (place one jelly belly) jelly bean in the box and have the student pick it up and taste it. *beware of those students who are unable to chew, food allergies, diabetes You may just tell them what the flavor is. Again this would be ideal to taste jelly beans because jelly beans are a variety of flavors. Every student will have an opportunity to experience another flavor from the other students.
>Smell: I would say get a cheap can of coffee beans or ground coffee
>Visual: A picture book or maybe an infant baby toy has a lot of visual on it. You can go to a used thrift store or maybe ask someone you know who has children who out grown their picture books or toys.
>Sound: You can probably go to the music teacher to see if you can borrow a few bells or drums. If that is not the choice. Put a few of those coffee beans or jelly beans in a soda bottle and have them shake the container. *everyone has a recycle bin for a soda bottle or soup can.
Depending how far you want to go with this assignment. You can either give them a hand made worksheet that you made on the computer or just review with them what they experienced through their sensor's.

What are some fun activities to do with 9-month old?

I already do a lot of the standard stuff (play Peek-a-boo, read book, sing songs) but I am always looking for new ways of entertaining and educating my baby girl. Please share your ideas and favorite baby activities with me. Thanks.
Answer
My son is 8 and a half months. I love that he is getting more interactive. I throw him on the bed (making very sure that he goes back first). He loves it! I throw him in the air. He LOVES being held upside down!! That is his favorite. When he is in the high chair (with wheels) I spin him in circles.
He is a very gentle boy though and is not as rough as my daughter was at that age. So if he is not in the mood for those games I get him to 'help me make the bed' in the morning. I lay him on the bed and throw the first blanket in the air and let it float down on him. Than I take his feet and slide him out and put him on top of that blanket and to it with the next one. We do this till the whole bed is made.
Another thing we do on my bed is that when he rolls away from me or crawls away (almost crawling, lol), I will pretend to be upset (in a play way) and he gets so excited. I take him and turn him back over onto his back and say "NOW, you stay there!" He grins real big and rolls to his tummy again, lol.. that little twinkle is priceless.
I also get on the floor with him. I play with his toys with him and read books down there... and boy does the world look different from 4 inches off the floor! Gives me whole new ideas for baby proofing the house!
We do alot of cuddle time and when a good song is on the radio, we turn it up and dance. He loves it. Slow or fast songs... he loves it all.
Sometimes I take his hands and do baby sign hand over hand.
For rewards for him listening, I do lots of happy voice and touching his face. He loves having his face touched.
He play this back and forth game with the soother. I put it in his mouth and act like he stole it from me. He does that to me now.. will put his soother in my mouth and grab it back, lol. Too cute!
He learns from all of this. Fun energy is the best way to learn.
OH, infant massage is great too! He is very sensitive on his skin. I tickle him, give him the shivers, give a back rub, or even take one finger and gently trace it all over his skin... he loves that last one, especially when we are cuddling.
