Ideas for 13 month old

I'm staying at home for at least the next few months with my DD and maybe until she starts preschool (I know I'm extremely fortunate to be in a position where we can and I do appreciate it)

But I'm a bit stuck for ideas especially as it's half term and our usual two baby classes/playgroup isn't on and DH is away

She doesn't want to be in her playpen or pushchair because she's started walking, but she's not really a steady enough walker yet to actually walk anywhere except round in small circles at the park with me hovering behind her (which we enjoy doing anyway)

We've tried swimming, farm, soft play, walks, reading.. letting her potter around while I do housework. I don't want to spend too much more money, any good ideas for activities to entertain her?!

I think it's as much for me as her as we don't have family nearby and my friends are away too this week

Library is a good shout... we could try bus too but also thought we could walk to and round our big Tesco, don't need to buy anything

We've just come out of an easier stage I think where she was happy to play on her own for a while, while I got on with stuff at home but now she just wants to be doing things constantly and isn't quite old enough to do things like crafts

Library, different park to usual, play in garden if you've got one, we go to the supermarket a lot!

Lots of play ideas on Facebook/Instagram as well using household stuff.

Garden centres, especially ones with aquatic sections, and pets at home are good as free short outings

We ended up getting a membership to soft play at £14.50 a month- absolute god send for a rambunctious 1 year old! I found a lot of the places advised online to hang out etc was for slightly older toddlers who could focus more- my LO just loved/ loves to roam.
