Activity Ideas

I WFH and have my 18m son home with me. It’s becoming increasingly challenging to keep him engaged during the day. He’s very clingy and only independently plays in short intervals. Need some more ideas of activities that will capture his attention. Any tips or suggestions will be greatly appreciated! ❤️
