We do a lot of the same things as Christy has mentioned. Ella has a sand and water table and loves playing outside with that. Bubbles definately are a fave. We are just beginning to play with playdough and chalk on the concrete outside....Ella does try to eat but not all of the time. We do lots of reading each day and have a big puzzle collection which we play with. She obviously can't do the puzzles correctly but enjoys me showing them to her and exploring the different shapes. I've got some good touch and feel puzzles and music ones too from Kids Central. We do our Baby Einstein flash cards a few times a week and lots of singing and dancing inside and out. Ella also has a baby trampoline and has fun on that. Ball play is also a good one. Even just fun with messy foods in her high chair outside is a good game and skill development with baked beans, puree's, chickpeas, sultanas, pasta....just a variety of different textures, sizes and tastes.
