my daughter is 11 months old and has been walking since she waas 7 months old. I need some ideas of thing i can do with her she is into everything and climbs all over everything. the weather is now changing so would love some ideas for us on what we can do. going  to the park is starting to get a bit repetitive.

hi. you could get your wellies on and go jumping in puddles. you could get a sand pit for your garden. you could take some large white paper and crayons out and go tree, stone, leaves, bark, floor cracks, fence rubbing or black paper out with chalk. you could go collecting leaves, twigs, grass, stones, feathers, bring them all home and see what she can make with them, glue or cellotape them onto card or she can make a mini garden of her own with them. you could go on a bug hunt or fairy hunt if you prefer! snail racing, if you can find any. you could chalk a hop scotch in your garden and get her jumping while you learn her counting. see if you can find any horses nearby or any kind of animals. if you drive take her to a garden centre that has animals. or there's still the park, they do love it!

hey hun, i have an 12 months old lil man and every thing he's not allowed to touch e.g doors, cupboards, tv, dvd player, etc etc etc etc he wants! and like your lil girl my  lil man walks and is an expert at leaping of stuff!! which scares me half to death most days so as youve mentioned with the nice weather ive actually been taken him to garden centres that have a pet section so we can have a look inside at all the animals and then wonder out to the gardening and plant section outside in the sun,  i no it prob doesnt sound very exciting but my lil man loves it, and it makes a nice change from going to the park all the time and its free!!! xx
