Toys for 11 months baby

[Bellenden Belle]

This is probably not the answer you're looking for but have you heard of treasure baskets?

There's a good list of contents in here:

I used them all the time with my first child. Giving him a basket and just letting him get on with diving in and exploring,discarding and then returning to the box - it used to amaze my other half how long it would keep him engaged.

Now no.2 has just started sitting up and had his first treasure basket yesterday and once again it worked a treat.

It's cheap, quiet, and you can vary it each day using things round the house so they won't get bored. It allows them choice, encourages them to explore different textures - to a baby a kitchen whisk and a scouring pad are as interesting as any vetch toy.

He is about to walk so any ride on cars that he can push would be very welcome. Big bonus would be a lift up seat so he can hide his treasure away and buttons to make noise.
