[quote=Anonymous]I know this is an old topic but I would love to hear any additional comments that people may have.

I have a 14 month old charge and am always looking for new activities to introduce him to. We try to do at least one activity a day and I like to give him variety.

Right now some of the things that we do are:
finger painting 
sensory play with jello
coloring with extra-thick crayons
blowing bubbles
play-doh (a favorite of his!)
putting some paint on paper and putting it in a ziploc bag (mess-free painting!)
sensory nature walks (going on long walks and touching and naming everything that we come across)

Things I want to try:
homemade bath crayons (http://pinterest.com/pin/199636195953489946/)
discovery bottles (http://pinterest.com/pin/199636195953471508/)
giant bubbles (pinterest.com/dawnthomas5/kids-crafts-activities-to-do/)
add food coloring to shaving cream and let play in bathtub
sensory bins (with rice, pine cones, pasta, cotton balls, etc) 
put a dozen glow sticks in the bathtub and turn the lights off
Around Easter time I plan on doing Easter egg searches and also putting little surprises (not candy) into the eggs and letting him open and explore, will also supply an egg carton to let him put eggs in and out of

I pride myself on being a very active nanny and would love to hear how other nannies and mothers fill their day up with 12-18 month olds!
