Read to them. Also try sensory play activities: moon sand, play dough, cold pasta, rice play, water play. There are heaps of ideas for this on Pinterest.

Goodness me, entertaining a 14 month old can’t be too hard. Everything is new and fascinating to them. Puzzles, books, a walk, a trip to the park, put on some music and just dance

get them outside and exploring the world. Toddlers that age love to touch every plant and smell every flower.
If the weather is yuck, maybe find a kindergym or playgroup to go to. My 2 loved these activities, especially being around other kids! good luck!

sand pit, making bottle instruments or going for a run in the park

how did you go?

Hope you managed to use some of these good ideas.

What did you end up choosing?

blocks, Duplo, dolls, prams, cars

painting, making play doh , drawing.

There are some really good plastic gym sets for this age, some have slides, tunnels and even low swings.

We just got a trampoline. I don’t know if that’s an option for you but it gives us hours of entertainment! You can put balls or toys in it for something different, use the underneath as a cubby, etc.

So many great ideas here. I also turn to google when I need some inspiration for new things to do with my kids.

a wide variety of short and easy activities as children lose interest soon

Music on, singing and dancing scribbling on butchers paper

You tube has great ideas for young kids and step by step too so easy for u

little, quick things. as they have a short attention span.

Good luck & remember small things amuse small minds my little man used to bang pots together lol or hit them with a spoon

Get little inflatable pool & fill with colored balls, bubbles or bubble blowing machine, any toy that lights up and sings, paper & Pencils for colouring in and drawing mum a picture, play gym, playgrounds, singing & dancing especially with things like the wiggles, in coffs harbour is a place called tabatinga and its excellent for children has mini glow in the dark golf, lots of play equipment, a canteen type thing with hot & cold food as well as drinks lollies coffee for mums etc or the jungle bungle is great, painting is great too, sandpit is awesome, & playdough set is really good =)

bubbles, finger painting, playdough, take them for a walk in the backyard and show them the leaves, flowers, butterflies etc, a toy watering can filled with water and get them to water the grass, lay out a big piece of butchers paper and let them go crazy with crayons, give them some bowls and saucepans and spoons to ‘cook’ with.

I try to keep my 14 month old moving! As she is getting more confident with her toddling I let her roam around the house and explore for a short while… We then move on outside where she has a little go on her baby bike (a great time for me to hang the washing) then we come inside and she’ll spend a good half hour in her playpen (giving me some time in the kitchen) – Of course there are always trips out in the car and visits from friends… But I do find that if we are having a day at home so long as I vary what she is doing regularly she doesn’t get too easily bored
