Shelves at 14 months

Harry's bedroom is where his shelves of toys mainly are. He does have some shelves out in our lounge room, and since the family daycare is in our main living room, he has lots of shelves out there, but these ones are just for him.

Having low shelves is important so that the children can easily see where there items are and it also easier for them to learn to put them away. Harry doesn't know how to pack away his things just yet, so I model packing them away and he will soon learn to do it himself. Harry cosleeps with us so he doesn't have a bed in his room so we were able to put in his little wooden slide. This slide has been the best purchase I have made! He is ALL about climbing and gross motor so he spends a lot of time climbing up and going down the slide. He also loves pushing his toys down it and it's great for teaching him things that roll and things that don't. He loves pushing balls and cars down the slide! 

Harry has great hand/eye coordination so he loves the discs on vertical dowel and the box with bins. He likes to put the discs in the little bins and transfer them around. 

On his rug I have his ball tracker and basket of musical instruments with his favourite little drum. He loves his music and this is one of his favourite activities.
