We put on a DVD once a day too most days, and she will play while Play School is on in the mornings as well. The rest of the day the radio is on and she follows me around the house while I clean and tidy, she plays with crayons and we draw, we play with her teddies (she's into changing nappies and feeding!) we read books, play on the couch and bed, and she plays by herself for some of the time as well, and she enjoys that. By the time you add feeding and naps, plus me feeding James that's the day done!! Amazing how you can fill a day! We do go for walk most days as well. If we don't then I will take her to a play centre is she is particularly ratty and if it's not a mothers group day. Some days I feel guilty because I feel like I don't spend enough one on one time with her but am taking inspriation from the Fun with Toddlers thread!
I try to go out every day - otherwise we both get a bit "house-bound". We go for a walk, to the shops, to the library (have you tried story time at the library?), or to McDonalds (I don't let him eat the food - but he plays on the equipment & I have a coffee). A couple of times we have been to the play-centre. We often go to visit a neighbour with young kids, or to the park, to Mum's group.
Then for the time we are at home, we play with toys, read books, sing songs. He also plays independently while I get stuff done.
Ezz- The library is awesome isn't it? Even if we miss storytime, it's still a great space to crawl around in. That's a good idea about Macca's playground too- I hadn't thought of that.
