Entertaining a 10-month old

[Makeroomforthemushrooms]

I feel like my 10 month old needs something more from me in terms of playing. Can anyone share some ideas for activities I can do with him while on lockdown, please? He loves a bath but can’t have too many because he has very dry skin. Also loves climbing and is very active but can’t walk yet. Thank you in advance!

A Paddling pool with a bit of emoliant in the water?

Potato printing! Or finger painting. Potting seeds (playing with mud). Get some slime (If he wouldn’t eat it). Drawing with chalk on the pavement. Singing. Tv . Good luck.

Playing with yoghurt in a big tray or the bath.
Make some rattles using old milk cartoons or any bottle and fill with rice/pasta.
Make a sensory material area: put lots of different materials on the floor. Scarves, ties, wool, jumpers, silk etc and let them explore the different textures (put them in a vest so they can feel the textures all over their body)

Play 'baby sensory' videos on YouTube

Sing nursery rhymes and make up signs if you don't know any
Fill sandwich bags with baby oil and food colouring and let them explore by mixing them together.
Put some foil in a plastic wallet and let them explore the different sounds it can make
Pillow mountain: put lots of pillows on the floor and cover with a blanket. Get them to practise crawling up the mountain.
Just a few I can think of. Hope those are useful :)

Thank you. Might pop him in the bath with some corn flour paint. And the cushion mountain would be right up his street. For some reason I’ve just run out of ideas lately.
