bottle bowling will be helpful for the 11 month old to build both their motor skills. With this activity, the child will be able to learn how to hold a slightly bigger item (the ball) and will learn to push it towards the bottle. Holding the ball helps with their fine motor skills as well. Pushing and/or rolling the ball helps with their gross motor skills because child will then use arms and body to push the bal forward. It also helps with their hand-eye-coordination as the child will be looking at the ball and will aim the ball towards the bottle.

tissue box toy!

refining/practising the pincher grasp by letting the child pull “tissue out of the box” the tissue is harder to grasp then other “sorter toys” but the child can tackle this! a further fine motor area by learning how to push the tissue toy back into the box.

gross motor is also covered by the child having to steady the box in order to pull out the tissue from the hole.

this can also be easily made at home by using an actual empty tissue box and scrap fabric. if desired, caregiver can sew on large beads and sequins onto the tissue to give the child textures to explore beyond just the cloth.

Activity: Music and movement time!  So we can on music like itsy Bitsy spider, at the same time to sing and use actions such as:  For "Down came the rain," mimic rain falling with your hands. For "Out came the sun," raise your arms to show the sun shining. Besides that you can also add rhythm such as clapping or simple instruments like shakers to keep time with the music. All these small movements will contribute to her developing gross motor skills.

Activity:

Box has two flappers and an activity reveals when opened. There is a knob that child can twist and a slider to slide left and right. The box also has wheels so that it can be pushed around.

Rationale:

The child shows natural curiosity to explore inside the tin so she may be more intrinsically motivated to explore flappers and may be delighted to discover the activities inside. The knob and sliders helps her develop her gross and fine motor skills in terms of big and small muscles used to perform rotational and horizontal movements. Strength required can also be adjusted with tightness of knob and slider, so it is highly customizable according to child's strength development. Wheels can help her with engaging her core and lower limbs, and she may find it fun to push her little toy around!!

Present Milestone: As the baby is 11 months old. Can sit independently. She is able to hold objects in her hand pressing against her palm (i.e. Palmar grasp). And she is also can at holding objects with her thumb and pointer finger (i.e. Pincer grasp). Can Transfer objects from one hand to another.
Activity: I think the activity suggested for her will be sorting of objects and putting them in different spaces on the cupcake tray. With Objects as balls and beads of different sizes.
Gorss motor skills: This will help her master her balancing body, moving her body around the tray to get the objects. That’s to fine tune her Gorss motor skills. This activity also can help her transferring objects from one hand to another skill at points as well.
Fine Motor skills: For Fine Motor skills as she will use both her hands and fingers to hold the objects we can use small/big beads her both palmer and pincer grasp’s will also be mastered.

We can encourage 11-month-old baby to stack lightweight and soft edge blocks and build towers, then knock them down and start again.

Benefits of this activity:

This activity helps to improve gross motor skills as it involves picking up, lifting and moving big blocks works those arm, shoulder and core muscles. It also improves fine motor skills like finger coordination while using a pincer or whole hand grasp. It helps to understand cause and effect concept as when the block falls, the baby learns the result for its action. With this activity, we can also introduce spatial awareness like on top of, beside, and balance etc.

Purpose for the child to play with bubble wrap is to enhance their sensory experience.

Through this activity they are able to experience fine motor skills by using their hands and fingers to feel the bumps and pop it.

While gross motor skills they can try to sit on it or crawl, step on it.

Activity:

Using of recyclable cardboard or indoor playground to create the tunnel. Encourage crawling activity through the tunnel, grip and push the ball out through to the other side.

Rationale:

A 11-month-old child will show curiosity when they see the tunnel and a ball as part of their physical activity. Crawling activity remains as a vital aspect of developmental milestone as they focus on gross motor skills to get on the ground while strengthening their shoulders, arms, the coordination between right and left sides of their body as they push themselves forward to crawl. Observation of fine motor skills is when they develop arches in their hands to grip onto the ball and strengthen their hand muscles to push the ball out through to the other side of the tunnel.

This activity builds on the purpose of discovery and exploration to allow a 11-month-old child to freely roam around, as well as practice on hand-eye-movement coordination.

This activity uses simple items thats easily can be found anywhere. Items such as cushions, pillows, couch, soft items create safe, textured terrain and uneven flooring, for them to crawl over and around and uses toys for them to grab.

The objectives of this activity is let the child explore through play in a safe environment and encourage movements, this promotes their gross motor skills and fine motor skills as well.

Rationale of this activity:

It helps develop Childs:

Gross motor skills: Crawling, sitting

-uses large muscle which requires the coordination of the major muscles such as shoulders, arms to strengthen and stabilises the upper body.

-Hips and legs that provide the baby to move forward.

Fine motor skills: Hand eye coordination, use of their thumbs and index (pincer grasp) to catch the balls, sensory experience through different textures.

Suggested Activity:

The educator could provide a low sturdy basket with some colourful objects varying in shapes and sizes for the child to play with. The objects can be scattered around the room for the child to reach out or crawl to retrieve them. The objects also provide opportunities to engage their fine motor skills and their interest in inserting and retrieving things. The sturdy basket also can provide them with support to attempt pulling themselves up if they are ready.

Gross Motor Skills:

The child is able to sit and reach for toys without falling. They're well balanced while seated, and able to turn their head as well as torso. They're also able to transfer an item from one hand to another without difficulty.

Fine Motor Skills:

The child is able to use their thumb and finger to pick up small object with pincer grip.

Emerging Skills: child looks ready to move from current space to get toys that are further away, and potentially pull themselves up.

Tunnel activity actually helps our children with their confidence. Some children have fear to go through dark, narrow and constrained spaces hence tunnels will help them to be more confident.

We can replicate tunnel play with using household materials such as chair and cardboard boxes. These materials are good for encouraging crawling and imaginative play.

Crawling or scooting through the tunnel can enhance the physical activity. It is the beginning of fine motor and at the same time strengthens the core and bilateral coordination skills.
