I actually did that this morning Nina! I make peanut butter cookies and he watched the mixer work then I gave him a ball of dough to squash.

Oh thank you Nina. I worry that I'm not giving him enough variety though. He has a toy guitar and he plays with that too. Of course, if it wasn't for the virus, we could be at the shops, garden centre and local farm but I'm not keen to do that just now.

PS what about letting him "help" you make simple cookies

I look after dgs two days a week. He's 20 months old. I'm just looking for ideas for playing with him. We read stories, he has toys at my house, bricks, cars etc, we dance, watch his favourite films. He lives to push the mop around and clean so we do that. Most days we go outside and splash in puddles or walk or go to the swings. He's not a fan of colouring and would prefer to eat crayons. Does anyone have other ideas that I could use? I'm sure he's happy enough but I don't want him to be bored.
