We also love just doodling on paper around cups, dishes, hands, feet or whatever dd wants....its something that she can do and so it doesnt matter what it looks like really.(im no artist..stick men are my limit lol)
how about blowing bubbles, its fun in winter for 10 mins!! or summer all day and a good excuse to get mucky lol.
Cant think of any more right now...kids on my case!!!
happy playing
i have a 3 year old and for fun we do things like playdough on the floor/painting with our hands and feet and running around playing chase and hide and seek.
im sure your LO will find you fun whatever you do because you are his mummy and the best person in the world to him.
hope you enjoy uni!!!
Like you i struggle with knowing what to play with my LO (21m). I think i try too hard, and he's just not ready for the games i try and play.
I like the copying game idea - I'll try that tomorrow.
We sing a lot, which we both enjoy, and when we do we sometimes use rattles and a drum to beat out rhythms. He also likes doing a tea party for his soft toys (just a basic toy tea set and some imagination).
I try not to watch too much TV with him, but it is quite nice to snuggle up and watch something sometimes.
