Things to do with a 1 year old

Postby Hannahboo » Sat May 28, 2011 12:30 pm

I am looking for some ideas of some fun things to do with my daughter who will be 1 in a couple of weeks. She is walking so very mobile so won't sit still for too long. We are going to get some paints for her birthday so we can do some painting outside, but I am really stuck for ideas of what else to do. She loves music and me singing to her, which I do a lot :giggle: but how can I make it a bit more fun and interactive?
Thanks in advance! x

Playdough
Ripping up junk mail
Impromptu baths with whisks, bowls, spoons . . .
Washing up on the kitchen floor
Dump a load of fabric on the floor, drape it on her head etc
Tray of dry pasta, rice, spaghetti, cornflakes . . . add bowls and spoons
Saucepan drums
Collecting walk, take a basket and see what she can find to put in it. Flower, shell, feather, grass, stone . . .

Thanks! It's amazing all the things to do are so simple yet I hadn't thought of doing any of them :D

Another good one is shaving foam and paint! Finley loves it! And if you've got laminate flooring we let fin paint it!

If she's walking then get a roll of lining paper, paint her feet and walk up and down the paper :)

Ooh, that's a good idea! Like the one about washing up too, ulterior motive and multitasking ;)
