what are educational games i can play with my 9month old son?

he can sit but is not a good crawler ... he just started to stand on his own by pulling him self up... and holding on things..
i feel like hes slower than other kids... and i want to help him grow faster by playing with him games that help him think...
because im in egypt i dont have acsess to any good educational toys... so i was wondering what u stay at home mothers do with your kids to help them think and grow...?

Answer
I always read to my son, and sing songs, and constantly point out things to him--like, "the ball is blue" or "the grass is green!" I would make everyday things into games and just repeat them to him--after a while, he started to pick up on so much I even made games out of washing the dishes. He loved to play with the bubbles and the tupperware I would wash. I also would take him outside and garden and show him how to plant flowers and other things like that.

Sometimes I think the games companies create are overrated. You can find so many fun things in your own house, and outdoors too!!
