How are you supporting LO to play/explore outdoors?

With the weather finally picking up I want to get my LO out more, very keen for this to be as independent as possible (safely). What are you dressing them in, and are you letting them explore freely?

Garden toy ideas

Anyone got any suggestions for what I can get for the garden so we can play outside more in the summer? So far we have a small sand box that he isn’t too interested. We get sun all day in our garden so want to make the most of it, but it is only a small garden.

iPads📱

So, what are we all thinking about iPads? Currently having a debate and I feel very much on the fence. Do we agree that it’s much easier to let our little ones watch cartoons/play games on an iPad while out and about (restaurants/keeping them quiet/etc.) or do we think it’s a slippery slope that isn’t helpful?

Climbing

What are people doing with their 15 month olds who climb EVERYTHING!! My LB will climb onto the coffee table, kitchen table, windowsill, into his sisters dolls house, top bunk of their bunk bed and even so far as to a ladder into the loft (I have pictures 😂😂) Feeling at the end of my tether constantly taking him…

Travelling in car

Help! My 11 week old hates the car! This started a couple weeks ago, she just screams in the car unless I am sat in the back with her which is hard if I’m by myself and need to run errands. It’s getting to the point I dread driving anywhere on my own with her and just want to stay home.
