[quote=Anonymous]Walks, bug hunting, bubbles (have her try to burst — great for hand eye coordination), simple cooperative board games to teach rules and social skills. Lots of books, online via Epic if you don’t have a library — you can still hold her and read. Have her help around the house. She can fold simple laundry and cut with a child safe knife in kitchen. Help vacuum and dust. Toy musical instruments and dance parties. Blocks, magnatiles, clay, paint, markers. Assorted gemstones to sort. Caterpillar to butterfly kit. Baking (very simple things) — she can help mix and pour. The idea is to plan enough novelty in your time with her that she gets stimulated by new skills and activities. Otherwise she will be restless and miserable and your energy will go into dealing with that.... also, if you use screentime, show her realistic things like musical concerts, nature docs, or even read alouds of books.
