What to do at home with toddler

I feel like I've been here before and back again but mum guilt is getting me that I'm not doing enough with my LO. He's 16 months and has lots of toys to play around with, we read, play in the garden, go on walks etc but he's at that age where I find it hard to know what actual activities to do with him at home so tend to leave him just pottering around and playing.

Any tips for activities to do at home with a 16 month old or is it fine to just leave him pottering and playing with his toys for a fair amount of the day?

I have a potterer too. You can't be out every minute of the day and I've always found that when I try to do 'activities' (in the loosest possible sense), they're about 12 seconds of entertainment and then DS wants to poke his toys under the sofa again or whatever.
Glad to know it's not just me! Thanks for your comment :-)
