How to entertain a 13 month old

[Daisysimply]

Hi looking for ideas on how to entertain a 13 month old please? I’m driving myself crazy with boredom everyday and just don’t know what to do with my girl all day. She’s not a massive fan of being in the pram for long so long walks aren’t ideal. Any suggestions please. She also does not walk yet

Sing- put the radio on and sing and move to the song
play games like ring a ring of roses, little piggy.
lots of body contact and physical gestures
head fingers knees and toes
whats for dinner tonight mr wolf
read books to her with exaggerated voices
read books calmly to settle her down
a regular TV story or iPad time with you
counting, speaking, action words- let’s jump
speak words in another language if you can
hide things and get child to find them
finger painting
cuddles/ snuggles under the blankets
imaginative play- shall we be cats?
playing with ball- coordination exercises
everything you do at this age should be around communication, action and physical touch
lots of rolling around on the floor- let them explore while you watch.

I remember always watching my boys lovely little face all animated with shinny blue eyes with he jabbered on about something. Lovely days, gone too soon.

if you are struggling, try and build a schedule into your day.
Once your child is older and can suggest what to play, you’ll find yourself wishing for a few minutes of rolling on the floor instead of the endless hours you will spend attending dolly tea parties, and hospital games where teddy has broken his arm for the 7th day running!

are there any local classes you can join?
also local play park? journey there and back kills a bit of time too ;-)

If she doesn't like the oral, you could get a sling to put her in then you could get out and about with her more.

Argh I do not why auto correct corrected ´pram' to ´oral'!!!!!
