Activities for an 8 month old?

Can anybody give any ideas on what activities to do with my 8 month old? He’s been crawling since he was 6 months and is constantly on the move but will do the most crazy things and he climbs on everything which I’m sure is advanced for his age. He just won’t sit down and play anything. Has anybody got any suggestions?
Thank you

No advice but watching with interest ! My 5.5 month old is nearly crawling and I can’t contain him in his bouncer chair or anything anymore as he can chuck himself forward and nearly out of it !

my 3 year old wasn’t on the move until much older 🤣

If being active and climbing is his thing:

Go to softplay
Go swimming
Build an assault course out of sofa cushions for him to climb over (or get some softplay style cubes, maybe a play sofa for Christmas?)
Buy a tunnel
Blow bubbles for him to catch
Blow up some balloons for him to chase
Give him a pan and a wooden spoon to bang
Chase him
Roll a ball to him
Put toys up on the sofa/a low table to encourage him to stand/pull up
Sing action songs
Got to a baby gym class (tumble and roll or similar)

Get a climbing frame or take him to the park. See if there are any baby gym classes near you like tumble tots or beefit
