My 14 months ds isn't walking yet and finding activities to do out of the house with lockdown is tricky!
We live in a flat so keen to get him out and about but besides from taking him to feed the ducks and pushing him on a swing im getting stuck for ideas!
Anyone have any ideas to keep us sane? Smile

Hi! My LO is 12 months and also not walking. Have you got all over waterproofs? I let her explore the park and just accept she’ll get muddy. Very keen to hear ideas from others too

Hi DS is 19 months and not walking, I concur with the all over rain suit and let him go wild on the floor, making sure to clean up his hands.
I also have a carrier and he’s super happy in there so we go for long walks and point and chat about things.
Other than that yes, swing, slides, ducks!

He’s also eating a lot of ice cream as he’ll sit still on a park bench and eat it while I have a brew 😂

Oh and I put wellies on him and bounce him around in puddles. Passes 10 mins.
Yes it’s exhausting ha.

Waterproofs are definitely a good idea and bouncing him in puddles will try that! I wish he would sit on a bench with ice cream but he doesn't sit still for anything, just trying to climb all over the bench when we sit (which i suppose is an activity to be fair)
