I'm really stuck. Maybe I'm just over analysing things but I'm not sure what activities I can do with a one year old. I don't know where to start really. I'm fine with 2+ but I'm not too sure about babies? Any help would be massively appreciated

I have a 11month old very soon 1 and we do everything a 2yr old does
We do loads of messy play water shaving foam etc
Painting
Sticking
Puzzles
Music
All the normal cars and animals dolls etc makin the noises
Bricks we build it and he knocks it down or we count to 3
Mirrors are good
Also flip board books

Heuristic play, treasure baskets, pram walks.
The thing I was told was that a poem walk may be unexciting to you, but a 12 month old is seeing, linking, remembering, noticing stuff. If you don't get out, they won't have that opportunity.

Ooh I got all excited about a poem walk but realised it's a pram walk. Duh
We do story walks which are fab but a poem walk sounded even more fab

my 14 month old fave is cooking equipment, music, and nursery rhymes doing lots of action rhymes at the mo, building blocks, builder tools, books has semed to lose concentration with at mo so generally 4 pages of a book, shape sorter , jigsaw though more take apart than put back together
Outside go to sensory room , music group, and soft play...
