It has been almost 14 years since I nannied for little ones as young as 9-18 months old, and I read online in the various nanny groups how nannies are wondering what kinda of activities and play things they can do with this age range, so when I was on the Toddler Approved blog and ran across the article 18 Easy Play Ideas for Kids Ages 9-18 months I just knew I needed to share with everyone. It often helps, atleast to me, to have some new ideas or even be reintroduced to ideas I haven’t heard of in a while. I am hoping some of these will be able to spark some new fun times with you and your little one.
Let us know what things you do with your 9-18 month nanny kids and which of these you tried out and you all loved!
If you have a child in the 9-18 month age range, check these ideas out and see if any might work for your child. All kids are different and are also at different developmental stages so make sure you only do the activities that your child seems ready for… and then try any others in a few weeks or months. It is amazing how one week kids aren’t interested in something or can’t do it… and the next week all they want to do is that activity and it is easy for them.
