My 4 yr old daughter loves the bus, so we often go for a short bus ride (don't want to be trapped on a bus with a bouncing kid) but something about the change of scenery and the anticipation of where we might end up is fun for her. As for my son, I keep my eye out for construction sites close to my house. A walk do to look at tractors and diggers is good to keep him going for a bit. Basically, any activity that distracts and engages seems to work. Great list.

My son is already 7 months. It is crazy how fast it is going, but I simply can't wait for him to start talking and interacting with me. These are all great ideas and it is important we remember their point of view. I am always catching myself wondering what is going through his mind when something happens (or is not happening for that matter). Great article. My son is already 7 months.

The list may seem obvious, but it's funny because when your kids are bored and your wracking your brain for ideas --- you can never come up with these ideas. I also like that your list is simple. It doesn't have to be something earth-shattering for your kids to enjoy it. They just want to be with you and to stretch their imagination... -B Great ideas, all!
