My son is nearly 13 months old and im struggling with what to do with him in the day... im going back to work soon so he will be at daycare a few days a week but yer im running out of things to do with him! going to the playground and walking around the shops isnt cutting it anymore lol... not really any mum/baby activities around here either
Some ideas of things that DS loves:
* playing with cups, bowls, spoons etc.
* playing with water/hose in the backyard
* sand table (he did start out eating this at 12 months, but now he actually plays with it)
* drawing with crayons
* puzzles (he tries to put the pieces back, but still needs help)
* swimming (we go to lessons weekly)
* climbing up and down stairs (I think he could do this all day! :lol:)
* playing in the McDonalds playground
* painting (it makes a big mess, so strip him down to his nappy first!)
* vacuuming, sweeping, etc
* playing in the backyard (paticularly if its dirty)
* walking around outside (going to the mailbox is an adventure when they can walk!)
* swinging in the swing
* playing with wooden blocks (he loves knocking down my towers)
* reading books (he will go & get them from the shelf for me to read)
* singing & dancing
You can get some more ideas from the 'fun with toddlers' sticky above.
Oh, and re. the shops thing - my DS enjoys the shops heaps more if I let him walk while holding my hand, or stand in the trolley, rather than being strapped into the pram. (yes, shopping takes a lot longer now!) :lol:
ezz, thanks thats a great help :)
CB, had a look in there but most of the things i found were craft things and making things ect, more for 2-3 year olds
Try making GOOP with him he will love it ( i do hehehe)
its cornflour and water!
its runny when u pick it up but hard when its in a bowl! its soooo much fun!
