And I would look into getting a carseat. Not only for flexibility, but for peace of mind in the toddler stage. I feel like my LO is getting herself into potentially dangerous situations daily. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ideas-for-playdate-with-grandpa-and-14-month-old#post-980069 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 07:10:07 +0000 regberadaisy 980069@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Would you be willing to buy a car seat for his car? My ILs are starting to watch LO once a week starting in September. We got them the Cosco Scenera which is only $39 on Walmart. It has a lot of great reviews. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ideas-for-playdate-with-grandpa-and-14-month-old#post-980062 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 07:05:48 +0000 looch 980062@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sandbox<br /> Sensory boxes<br /> Montessori activities<br /> Puzzles </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ideas-for-playdate-with-grandpa-and-14-month-old#post-980046 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 06:51:56 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 980046@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Finger painting<br /> Kiddie pool filled with water fun stuff </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ideas-for-playdate-with-grandpa-and-14-month-old#post-979974 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 04:09:16 +0000 Smurfette 979974@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Water the plants<br /> Arts and crafts<br /> Picnic in the park </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ideas-for-playdate-with-grandpa-and-14-month-old#post-979963 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 02:47:49 +0000 lamariniere 979963@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you have an outdoor area at home and can you invest in a water table or a small kiddie pool for DD? Then grandpa could sit outside in the shade somewhere and monitor while she splashes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ideas-for-playdate-with-grandpa-and-14-month-old#post-979875 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 23:12:57 +0000 BeachMama 979875@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My dad is 68 and watches DD once a week. He's not in the best shape and has been having increasing back and sciatic pain over the past several weeks. He used to take her on a stroller walk in the afternoons to play in the park, but it's been really hot lately. I know he's getting kinda bored and just doesn't know what to do with her during the days. I've been trying to think of some play activities or ideas for them to do to keep them both occupied. Any ideas?</p> <p>He doesn't have a carseat int he car, so any activities would have to be at home or at the nearby park. </p>
