Bath time with the soothing oatmeal for eczema. Get a few plastic cups and let her play with them in there for as long as she wants.

We read a lot but I am at a loss as to what to do with her beyond reading and playing with her toys. We do songs and finger-play. She is crawling and a sweet baby.

I’ve never had to stay indoors before and I would love any suggestions on what more I can do with her inside a relatively small space.

Thanks!


Exasperated? How about aggravated?



I meant “Exacerbated” .Sorry. Auto correct.

Not OP but what do you put in your sensory bins for neat indoor play?


For a 10 month old I would put different kinds of socks. Big socks, fuzzy socks .
Maybe Cheerios in one with a bowl, measuring cup

For older kids sunflower seeds with shovels, measuring cups, plastic cups

Jello, spaghetti.

Google sensory bins or sensory bottles


Thanks so much, PP. Great ideas!

Mega blocks (giant LEGOs) are fun and good for motor skills and color sorting. My charge LOVED music toys at that age. We would sing and shake maracas. We also did a lot of reading. She had some dinosaur figurines that she loved to stand up and knock down over and over. Hope that helps some! Being stuck inside can be miserable!
