DD is 15mo does anyone have any ideas for strenuous but sedate/calm activities I can use to tire her out so she'll fall asleep easier?

Mine always get tired after an evening romp around the garden. That last burst of fresh air before bed seems to knock them out.

Go to the park and feed the ducks?

I find a physically active day with plenty of fresh air works better than trying to wear them out at the end of the day.

So go out for the day, get to the park for a few hours.

Thanks everyone. Please keep your ideas coming.

QT she's been having one 2 hour nap since she was a few months old. I actually find that on days when she doesn't nap her sleep patten is worse, waking up after 2 hours then refusing to go back to sleep even tho she's clearly very tired

Even if you can't out, there are some good DVDs with nursery rhymes and kids dancing along to the songs. I put them on and dance with my son, it tires me out!
