14 month old isolation help!

Have to isolate 10 days from today with VERY active 14 month old.
Usually out all day running around, really struggles in the house!
Any tips, advice or activity ideas for tiring out a tiny energy machine I would be so grateful for!

Do you have much of a garden? If you do, can you afford to order extra garden equipment on fast delivery?

If no to either of those….cool bubble baths for lots of water play….throw in anything waterproof and safe that she wouldn’t usually play in the play ie duplo, plastic plates, spoons, cups etc.

Indoor trampolining …. If no baby trampoline then put pillows and sofa cushions on the floor

Discos with sing a long music

Hiding games; texture games ie jelly, marshmallows, cucumber, ice etc ; collecting items from the garden; noise games….introduce new sounds; blow bubbles to be chased; make instruments and sing/make music; new words through unusual activities ie let’s smell the ingredients in the cupboards and find out what makes that smell; saucepans and wooden spoon drum kits, chalk on house/ path / side of shed or garage

Suitable baby animal videos online. Allow extra screen time also.

Baby yoga from You Tube.

Good luck!

Some great ideas! Especially the hiding stuff I wouldn't have thought of - we have some garden toys I will dust off but I think I'll do an online order...
