DD is 14 months and right into her sandpit and her favourite thing at the moment is taking books and dvds off the shelf. As soon as they're off and I put them back, she's taking them off again, she loves it!
Blocks like the peek a blocks are good. They can try and stack them and push them over.
The park or an indoor play centre is great at this age, especially during the winter.
Yep..the sandpit.
My DS1 had a ball pit that he loved to sit in an throw the balls out and then put them back in.
Toys that talked and made noises.
I am finding it difficult to entertain DS as well, it must be the age. He loves being outside, so every day that it's fine I take him to the local park/playground - he is easily entertained there for ages on the equipment and also collecting sticks, running on the grass etc. I have no idea what I'm going to do with him when we're stuck inside on rainy days.
When the weather is good i get out in the garden and give ds a little bucket and spade and he helps me do the weeding
We have a rock garden so we fill up empty juice containers with rocks and make lots of noise shaking them around. He loves the park and the swings and generally just being outside. If we can, we go to the lake and chase seagulls for hours. I'm lucky that ds doesnt put things in his mouth.
If its raining, we read lots of books. Sometimes if i feel like cleaning up a big mess afterwards we will do some baking together. Like if we make banana bread i'll let him stir it around and help with the ingredients but it is very very very messy (and fun!). I'll put on a cd and we will dance together and make silly faces. He loves his ball pit so we get in there and throw the balls all over the place. I do try to contain the mess to just one room when its raining as i feel like i cant escape it if i dont.
You could get a pkt of balloons and blow them up for something different.
