My DH has the week off. And before he decides to nap away the days 🙄 I need an idea to suggest to him of something to do with our son.

I take him I the park often, and the zoo near us. Any other ideas that are corona safe ?

Really appreciate any help

Go to DIY shop and buy lining paper. Tape it all over your kitchen floor and then squirt paint into random blotches and let toddler go crazy. Make DH clean up Grin

Let your grown up husband decide for himself where he takes the little one perhaps

I’ve done similar with paint but done it in bathroom so that the child can be lifted straight into bath. Do it in nappy only and they have a great time!!! Walk in the park. Make cakes. What would your husband like to do?

@1busybee good idea to do it in the bathroom.

He doesn't think that a baby needs stimulation and is happy to let him crawl around and play with his toys to be honest

A new park.
A forest aka a few trees
Feed the ducks
Swimming
Collect fallen leaves and make a collage
It all depends and what is available in your area and what you consider to be safe.

At home drawing, painting, reading book, ‘helping’ with the house work, digging in the garden, playdoh, cloud doh, gloop or other messy play,

What’s wrong with this? Has he never looked after his child before? If you’re working and he’s on baby duty it’s not up or job to direct how they spend their time. I’ve got plenty of ideas but wouldn’t be pushing them on my husband. He’s an equal parent to our child and we’re equally able to decide how to spend time with our daughter.

@AnneLovesGilbert I'm asking for suggestions of things to do as a family. How is that comment helpful or relevant?
