DS doesn't have a nap during the day anymore, but I still try to get him to have some quiet/rest time. Especially at the moment as I'm so tired during the day that I need a break too.

Because DS is so clingy, I don't get a moment without him RIGHT THERE, talking non stop! We have spent the last 6 months getting to the stage where we can have 30 mins of 'minimal communication' aka quiet time, but only with a few things. He flat out will not lie quietly next to me, though often asks to snuggle - it just ends up as a chatty Wriggle-a-thon!

But, what to do? I can put the TV or iPad on, but I'm after some technology-free ideas for reasonably quiet activities. I've had some success with play dough, but not puzzles, drawing, glueing, stickers, felt pictures, blocks, cars, books etc

How does everyone else approach quiet time?
