 Topic: Ideas for playtime...
Posted: 05 August 2009 at 3:58pm |

I am finding it hard to entertain my wee lad during the day. We have playgroup 2x a week, as well as mainly music on wednesdays. I just really struggle with him during the day when we dont have anything on..
Anything I do with him turns into a 30 second game - he just walks around looking for trouble, or climbs on the couch!
Anyone want to share their ideas? Hes 15 months old so a little young for playdough or painting.

anything with wheels goes down a treat here... books, musical instruments... those little wooden puzzles. i used to try and stop them climbing on the couch but have given up now! a train set, blocks.

wheeled things are great ! We have a plastic bottle she can put a whole bunch of pegs in, then shake them out and put them in ,,,,,,,,,, Have you got a plastic container cupboard ? Thats always a hit and I just recently got a box covered it with pretty paper and stuck some string through one side, she puts dolly etc in it and drags it around. She is 15 mnths too. Can he kick a ball ?

oooh Great ideas!
Misscheeky I like your peg idea too, will try that one today!
yes he loves kicking the ball around, we have the little tikes car indoors which he plays with as well. He just gets bored so quickly.
Yesterday I got so tired of him climbing the table i filled the hall with safe things he could climb and put cushions around, he loved it!
