Children at this age are into exploring and have a great interest in the world around them, try filling up some baskets up, in interesting everyday objects suitable for your child’s age, development including pots and pans that some children love, I have used these, when working with the under 3s and find they work great!!
here’s some info, from the net:
For Babies from 4 Months

**What is a Treasure Basket? **
A Treasure Basket (‘invented’ by Eleanor Goldschmied as in her book: ‘People under 3’) is a strong basket (about 30 cm in diameter) filled with about 100 everyday and natural things (no plastic or toys) of different size, shape, feel, weight, smell, taste and sound. It needs to have a rim the height of a mug so it will not tip over when a baby leans on it for support.
