What activities do you do with your baby?

[SurpriseBub]

Just curious and hoping to pick up some ideas!

How old is your baby? And what do they like to do around home? Any favourite activities out and about?

DS is 10.5 months old. He loves to play with his toys at home. He loves our local children's museum. They have an entire baby room, and now that he is mobile he can spend hours in there without me telling him no touch! He loves going to the zoo and looking at all the animals. Or walking around the mall and people watching

Hey there, my son is 11 months.
Obviously he loves playing with his toys and crusing along the furniture. But a game which he loves, is where I get on all fours and shout really excitedly "Where's Oscar?? " I then crawl off & hide (but so I can still see him) behind a door or in another room. keep popping my head out...He loves it, it's like Hide n seek! He crawls to find me, squealing in delight, then when he finally gets to me, he gets a big hug & swung in the air! Then the game starts again! Haha xx

Mine is 9 months. She likes to play with her sisters toys the most. Mostly stuff that she shouldnt touch, playmobil, shopkins, barbie stuff, pens etc lol.
She loves to open and close the door on the wooden kitchen. She likes it when I out stuff on her head, and she pulls it off and hands it back to me to do again (usually do It with a babywipe since it doesnt fall off!)
She also LOVES the swings at the park, she goes all hyper when in them
The bath. If I leave the bathroom door open at any point during the day, she makes a beeline and cries to get in.
Pulling the clothes off the clothes stand is a favourite. Great when they are dry, not so funny when I am hanging them up!

She is quite content to crawl and cruise about, and makes alot of mess and gets into her sisters' business, which they aren't very impressed with!

Ahhh, it must be bliss to have older siblings' toys to steal!

Lovely ideas- we should go to the zoo in the next few months, and looking forward to hide and seek!

My DD likes me to fill and bag (usually her rucksack) with toys and take them out and put them back in again. I managed to drink a full hot cup of tea one day whilst she played!

She also likes her dads Xbox remote, hide and seek, crawling, using her swing in the garden aswell as trying to eat anything in sight. Yesterday she tried a handful of grass

My LO is nearly 10 months

Up until recently when she mastered pulling herself up to standing, she loved sitting in her playpen (which is actually a travel cot with a play mat laid down in it!) with a few toys and a big nursing cushion. She used to lie down and just chill in the morning and watch TV through the mesh! But since learning how to stand she won't sit down in there for even a minute! She does love standing up in there though, and cruising along the edge

She loves her door bouncer...

She loves playing peekaboo!

She loves it when we sing songs, especially ones where she joins in (eg. Wind the Bobbin Up - she claps along now )

Depending on what kind of mood she's in she sometimes just loves climbing all over us on the couch, examining our faces, hair, mouths, etc. She particularly likes it when I stick my tongue out and then zip it back in dead quick before she reaches it!

She actually LOVES going shopping, like to Asda or wherever. She sits in the trolley and shouts and waves at people and loves all the attention she gets!! I could walk around Asda for hours and she wouldn't get bored!

She loves going to the park and watching all the dogs.

And she loves spending time with other babies/kids. She's fascinated by them!

I'm gonna make her a treasure box soon. Have you heard of them? They sound really good and are apparently a big hit! I need to babyproof my living room (basically just move anything I don't want her messing with which my coffee table is pretty much COVERED in) and then I'll just be able to let her shuffle/cruise about doing what she wants!

My smallest baby is 8 weeks old and my other 'baby' is just over two years old. The oldest one loves to go to the library for story time and has been going since he was 5 months old! He also loves to paint and draw. When he was much younger I tried making some edible paint for him to try. He also loves splashing in water and when he was little I would put him in his high chair with a bowl with soapy water and bubbles (a little bit in a bowl) and let him splash his plastic animals in it. I would put a towel underneath.

He also loves swimming and took swimming lessons from 6 months until his brother was born (since I can't handle taking them swimming by myself!).

My youngest can't do too much yet being only 8 weeks but he comes along with the older to things like story time and hopefully he'll enjoy himself soon enough!
