Ideas for games/activites etc. for 15 month old

[cathncait]

I am starting to find my nearly 15 month old dd is getting bored with most of her toys (which I rotate every 2 weeks or so to keep it new) andalthough she loves playing at the park or on the swings in the back yard, she can't do this all the time - though we do do it every day. (she also screams if I try to make her wear a hat which is a worry). She loves, loves ,loves her dolls and feeding them etc but only for short times and then she crys at the cupboards for biscuits or at the fridge for...well nothing in particular - I think she just wants to look in there. I think shes bored and although I spend a lot of time playing with her etc. I just have no more ideas. SHe isn't interested in painting yet and plays with playdough for about 10 mins and thats it.
Has anyone got any other ideas? I would really appreciate your input.
Thanks

It's her cheese stars recipe from 'How to Eat'

50g self raising flour
pinch cayenne
25g soft butter
80g finely grated red leicester (I always use cheddar)
20g freshly grated parmesan (again I use cheddar if I've not got any)

Method (edited)

Preheat oven to 200C/gas 6

Stick all ingredients into a bowl and squidge together with hands until it forms dough. Can be done in processor but takes away the fun.

Halve dough and wrap one half in cling film & put it in fridge.

Sprinkle flour on worktop and roll out dough to around 2.5mm thick. Cut out shapes, put onto greased baking sheets and bake for 8-10 mins. Cool on rack, they continue to crisp up after they come out of the oven so be careful not to overcook. Keep reusing trimmings until you've run out and repeat with the other half of dough.

Don't make these if you post on WW or Slimming World thread.

Scones - This is a very forgiving recipe.

Preheat oven to 220 degrees C

2 cups of flour
4 teaspoons of baking powder
Pinch of salt

Sift these into a bowl (get your child to tip the cups into the sieve)

50g of butter
Rub this into the flour (the fun part - mostly this means throw flour everywhere, but eventually they get the idea)

If you want cheese scones, add some grated cheese at this point, the amount is irrelevant. Inevitably a large amount always goes down the sluglets mouth before it reaches the bowl.

Alternativly you could add a tablespoon of sugar and rasins/dried apricots/dates/whatever's lurking in the cupboard.

Use a knife to mix the flour mixture with enough milk to make a sticky dough. It should be a little under a cup, it depends on the weather conditions believe it or not.

Roll or pat it out to about half an inch deep. (sticky little fingers moment) Add more flour if it's too sticky. Cut into squares and put on a greased baking tray.

Cook for ten to twelve minutes - just enough time to clean up the mess in the kitchen and on the child. When they come out of the oven, put the kettle on. By the time you have made a cup of tea or coffee they will be cool enough to split, butter and eat. Marmite on cheese scones is the favourite in our household, but they have to be hidden from dh who will scoff the lot given half a chance.
