This is a question for anyone who looks after kids?

Question

What activity's can I do with my one year old son.

Apart from drawing!!! not that I don't do a lot with him, but any ideas are great.

Answer 1

Read to him (I don't know if you already do, but it's never too early to start!!), take him to the park, set up a water sprinkler and go through it with him, go on walks.  Been a while since my kids were that little, but there are tons of things you can do with a one-year-old.

Also, this site seems to have some ideas on what to do with young children:

Have fun! :)

Answer 2

play with toys

Answer 3

Reading

Children of this age can appreciate a simple story, but also like looking at the pictures. Stick with board books that can better withstand a 1-year-olds not-so-gentle touch.

Emptying and filling

One-year-olds are fascinated by the prospect of emptying and filling containers. A milk jug holds a special allure for young explorers because the narrow neck stands in stark contrast to the spacious interior. Try putting small objects such as raisins, Goldfish crackers or Cheerios into the bottle and then let your toddler figure out how to pour them out.

Sorting

Save your junk mail. It now serves a purpose. Your toddler will love the challenge of pulling the inserts out of the envelopes and then trying to put them back in again.

Stacking

Building a tower and then knocking it down is not only fun, it's educational. Placing one piece atop the next teaches kids about balance. And, of course, the demolition reinforces the concept of cause-and-effect.

Scribbling

Your toddler doesn't have any concept of cubism, impressionism or even paint-by-numbers. But that doesn't mean he won't be thrilled by the prospect of putting pen to paper. Buy a large box of crayons, cover the floor in large sheets of paper and let your toddler experiment with various hand grips.

Answer 4

i think any one year old would love to do things like go to the park or just go for a walk with you. hes too young to do elaborate activities but just the right age for you to take him to a park to play.

Answer 5

I live and take care of a 1yo girl. During day we go out alot (with my twin-daughters too). She loves to play in the park, she meets other kids, etc. i'd say go out alot. If you are stuck at home because of a rainy weather, I'd say give him a toy and he would know what to do further. Talk to him alot. Play with him games with his body parts. Tickle him. Play hide and seek (my 1yo friend knows how, so I guess you can teach him too). If you haven't potty trained him yet, you may use some time for that too.

Answer 6

Blocks, sandbox, tree house, playground. You should know what to do.And watching are you being served on telivion, THey love southpark
