Happy Monday! I spent allllll week last week filming and editing this video so there won’t be one out on Thursday this time. I hope you find a lot of value in this one! Anybody have any video requests for next week? Feeling pretty creatively tapped after doing and filming 10 activities in five days 😅

[@hadiabee4989]

Perhaps more fashion videos? Maybe a mom and son OOTW :) Love your style!

[@ruthalaina4837]

@@hadiabee4989 yes that sounds like so much fun!

[@MissDarknSpooky]

The link in the description to the ikea table takes me to the stacking rings! Please fix, great video btw!

[@martiparty6739]

Thanks for the tips! Even as a mom of 3 young kiddos (13m, 2yo & 4yo) I find your videos really helpful and fun! You’re doing great mama!

[@popchinesemusic2023]

Praying that everyone falls asleep quickly and has a peaceful sleep. Hope you all wake up happy and well rested👺😃😃😶

[@alenadotty]

thanks

[@user-yt6cy3gf8k]

That is one happy baby. Great job mom!

[@janellknudson4573]

You are such a good mama! I love how you research everything

[@cutieclontz4994]

Thank God for this video. My boy will be 1 November 23rd and I've been trying to figure out more developmental toys to get him and just entertaining things to get and this helped SO much. I'm not ready for him to be 1.

[@MJ-jw8nb]

I love this! First time momma, baby due in July 2023! I've really been studying early childhood development and find it so interesting!

[@ruthalaina4837]

I love the Pom Pom activity! Looks like no clean up! ☀️🤪

[@Wildfeminine13]

Thank you so much!!! This was so helpful. I like the diy! It was easy to follow your voice and guidance. As a new mom, everything I have to be responsible has been mentally and emotionally overwhelming. Now that she's turning one, it's a little bit easier knowing I've kept her alive thus far. Haha. 😄 subscribed! Ty!

[@jenniferstuart1228]

These are such great ideas! Thanks for sharing!

[@noralorenz6227]

Loved this video thank you!

[@zuziberi]

Thank you so much for this video Megan! You listed some great activities and really good Christmas presents ideas.

[@Cosinus2012]

Thank you! ❤

[@cristinaramosgreene]

This was SO helpful, thank you!!

[@marlenvelascodiaz6145]

Thank you Megan for all your great videos. I have a 16 month old so hard to keep him busy. I look at the link for the table from ikea but it’s the same one from the stacking toy not sure if you double posted. Thank you again for your great advice👍😍

[@yennicuellar5794]

Such great content, thank you for taking the time to do the research!

[@azuraskye88]

Really informative! Thanks for all your great, helpful content 🙏🤗

[@ruthalaina4837]

Yay Megan! So excited to watch!

[@MeganAcuna]

I hope you enjoy it!

[@Krrispy27]

Love the book recommendations! I have some more to offer - Color Dog by Matthew Van Fleet (there are a whole series of these), Noisy Farm by tiger tales (there are a whole series of these too), I love you mommy by igloo books, and finger puppet books for younger ages

[@sierrareed11]

Omg yes I love those stand up kitchen helper things! I've never used one, but they look so fun for the kids! 🤩 And then you don't have to kill your arms anytime they want to help you in the kitchen 😂🙏🏽

[@bushra524]

Thank youu Megan, I like your videos so much and i really appreciate your hard work... Love youu ♥️♥️

[@whimsical_lyddie]

Such great ideas! I was wondering how helpful I'd find this since we don't do Montessori, but oh my goodness, I want to get pompoms when I go to Target!

[@mirian593]

Loved the ideas thank you ❤, the hair band suits you, very pretty 😊

[@septembermorford6151]

This was so helpful even for my 9 month old! I’ve been running out of ideas and he seems to hate all normal toys 😅🤣 thank you!

[@jolaola1987]

Thanks for the video! Very helpful with interesting ideas and quick enough with everything said.

[@emily_shea1122]

Great video! I'm definitly going to save these ideas for when my baby reaches Rowan's age! Have you heard of the nugget play couch? It looks awesome for open ended play.

[@raymeeneidig2683]

We have that same piano! We love it. And I love your ideas

[@Kendall--]

Very happy I've found your channel! I just love your spirit and your little one is so cute!

[@MeganAcuna]

Thank you so much Kendall!

[@ruthalaina4837]

Love the oats! 🤩

[@MeganAcuna]

I think they were one of his favorites!

[@shimrsparklshine]

Thank you!!!!! My second baby is 15 months and I have been looking for 1 year old sensory activities! It's been 5 years since my oldest and I've forgotten so much. I know he will love these activities!

[@adrim3749]

I’d love to hear more toy recommendations that you can get from stores or Amazon. Love every looks so good and fun but with a tighter budget almost $150 is a little too expensive

[@MeganAcuna]

I totally get that. $120 is a lot of money! I wish they had smaller kits for $40 per month so you could just get a few of the toys. We don’t usually buy any one-off toys because I can’t often find ones that I love developmentally in stores and boutiques are so expensive but I think Lovevery has a collection with Target that’s more affordable! The items in the toddler collection are anywhere from $13-$25. We don’t have any of them but I’ve loved all the toys we’ve gotten in their kits and I’m sure these are just as great!

[@jenniferbyrne4567]

You’re such a great mommy!! That FLISAT table is awesome!! Is it a good height for a 12 month old to stand at? Mine loves tables her size.

[@oceanadave9716]

Hi from NZ ! Can you please share Where you got your stand that holds the lidless trays ? 🥰

[@ruthalaina4837]

Gosh I would love to be Rowan! 😚🤪

[@MeganAcuna]

Me too haha! Playing, eating, and sleeping all day sounds nice!

[@ruthalaina4837]

@@MeganAcuna yes it does 🥰

[@chloemurphy-ritland2110]

Where did you get your cube storage toy shelf? :)

[@inbetweenplants]

We got the IKEA playkitchen for our son when he was 11months old, which was way earlier than planned, but someone was selling it really cheep with a bunch of other kitchen toys, so we jumped at it and didn't find a reason to hide it from him. And he already loved it then! Obviously he doesn't do 'cooking-pretend-play' yet (he is 14months now) but he loves putting things in the cubboards and taking them out, looking trough the 'oven' glass and turning on the stovetops :D A great thing is that it came with leg-blocks that can make it higher as he grows. We've hidden most of the food-toys, for a later gift, but I can definitely recommend the kitchen from 1 year on! He also got Boobles blocks for his birthday which we use for climbing and he LOVES them! Wish we could get a Pikler Triangle but we simply don't have the space. But we're giving our son a learning tower for Christmas, I think thats an essential piece now :D

[@mariamsamhat1623]

Plz could you put some linkor photos to have an idea

[@rosaliepeter-isenburger9811]

Aaww Can't believe how small rowan is here ! So cute! Thank you for the ideas 😊😊 my baby is turning 1 at the end of the month and I am definitely in need for a few new ideas 😊 I am impressed that you rotate toys once a week. Wow! I cannot be bothered and only do it once a month 😂😂

[@MeganAcuna]

We definitely don’t anymore hahaha! I’ve really slipped with that!

[@rosaliepeter-isenburger9811]

@@MeganAcuna well you have your hands full :):):)

[@ashb2404]

My daughter taught me about cloud dough when she was probably 12 or 13 years old... Cloud dough and slime like activities will grow with kiddos... Especially girls for some reason... We have had so many interesting adventures with slime over the years .... Some more fun than others lol... She is 15 now... I think we just stopped buying slime and dough supplies for her maybe a year or so ago... She has better things to do now I guess lol

[@elliegault]

Woo! Just in time for my almost toddler 😭🥰

Such a fun age! I’m excited for you!
