Flash cards

I'm making some flash cards for DS with pictures of things that he loves to look at but that he doesn't always necessarily get to see/play with at home. I'm finding pictures in magazines and printing some up, putting them on cards, and then I'll have them laminated. I'm just looking for other ideas for what to put on flash cards that might be good for an 11 month old to look at and learn the names of. So far I've got: car, balloons, cat, dog, vacuum (his favorite thing ever), baby. What else would you do?

We have some flash cards that my mom bought for DD.  Off the top of my head they are of dog, cat, fish, ball, mirror, baby, keys, apple, car, truck, tractor, teddy bear, shoes.

Wow I must be a lazy parent...

How about different foods like apple, banana, etc, different body parts like foot, nose, ear, etc, and different items of clothing like sock, shirt, pants, etc?

For real! Me too....

My LO would eat the flash cards, just like his books, but I do still read to him.

LOL! No, literally the only reason I'm doing this is because there are outdoor cats around us, and he loves when he sees them through the window. When I read him a book with a picture of a cat in it, we can't ever get past the page with the cat picture, because he just wants to point at it. So I figured I'd make him a laminated card with a cat on it so that he can look at it. And then I figured that since he loves to look at cars but we live on a road that hardly ever has cars drive by, I'd make him some car cards while I was at it. It just kind of grew from there. 

ETA - I'm hoping it was obvious, but the LOL was to your comment about being lazy, not about your suggestions. :) I'll definitely add those to my list.

It's a great idea :) My LO loves our cats and totally freaks out over them.

HAHA I took no offense. Actually I'm glad you posted this because it does seem like a good idea and I have been trying to think of activities I can do with LO. We play a lot but I think he is at the age now where we could start working on things like this. So thanks for the suggestion :)

Shoes, ball, hat, sweater, bottle, cup, banana, apple. . . That sounds so cute! You could even include pictures of grandparents or you/DH, etc.
