At that age DD enjoyed taking walks, going to the park to play. She first was just sitting in the baby swing watching other kids then on the ground playing with the dirt. She also really enjoy playing with other kids her age or older. She was able to sit unassisted so it helped as she would sit long time next to full box of toys and pick them out individually and observe. She liked to help me build towers from blocks and braking them. She also had few favorite books and they all needed to have flaps to look under. Both soft and cardboard books were good.
