PUPPET MAGICPull those Strings

entertaining my 15 month old son? Inside only?

I need activities to keep my 15 month old son occupied. I was thinking maybe sock puppets but I don’t know if that would be a good idea and I need more ideas. Any suggestions? Thanks.

crafts is always a good idea.
get old plastic bottles and half fill them with stones, buttons, water, and other stuff that makes a noise and play musical instruments with them.
get him to help with dinner, cleaning up, or do a tresure hunt for him.
Interact with him play with a lot,also when he plays with his toys play with him show him how they work and stuff he will love it…go to familyfun.com and get ideas for age groups. maybe try to get together with other tots and have a play group?…

Water..if u dont mind a bit of a mess.. It’s so simple and completely cost free, if you are indoors you can give your little one a bowl of soapy water and a washing up sponge and some plastic cups and spoons, them put some bin bags down on the floor with towels over them and let him play with the water and wash up sitting on the towels – honestly, it sounds daft but my children had hours of fun doing this!!!!
Play dough is fun for children and if you only get it out every so-oftern your son wont get bored of it!
Bathing his toys – Fill the bath and let him choose some toys to bath, give him some shampoo and let him wash their hair etc.
BUBBLES – Either just get the small pots of bubbles and let him blow them or buy a bubble machine, ours only cost £5 from tescos and let him jump around bursting the bubbles – if you can’t find a bubble machine, then you can blow them for him and let him see how many he can pop!

Sock Puppet (Disambiguation) $68.51 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles A sock puppet is a puppet made from a sock (or similar garment). When the manipulator fits a hand into the closed end of the sock, the puppet can be seemingly made to talk. The puppets mouth is formed by the region between the socks heel and toe, with the puppeteers thumb forming a jaw. At a minimum the shape of the hand will instantly form the shape of a mouth, but sometimes the mouth is padded by putting in a fairly hard piece of felt (often with a tongue glued inside). The sock is stretched out fully so that it is long enough to cover the puppeteers wrist and part of the arm. Often, but not always, the puppeteer will hide behind a stand and raise up his or her hand above the stand so that only the puppet is visible. Many sock puppeteers, however, stand in full view along with their puppets and will hold conversations with their own sock puppets, using ventriloquism.
