Indoor Activities For A 10 Month Old

Looking for fun and engaging indoor activities for your 10-month-old? Here are some creative and safe ideas that I tried with my children. You can enjoy these at home under your supervision

A classic game that never fails to entertain! Hide behind your hands or a blanket and pop out, saying "Peek-a-boo!" Your baby will giggle with delight as they develop social and cognitive skills.

[{"selector":"#anim-ccf1c396-3c1d-448c-834a-293c9d3e6017","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-52405b9f-83c1-42d1-add4-fb266ab2dc96","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-99.03847%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-2abaea28-9c1a-4e79-9eee-278beefa657d","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(1)","scale(1.5)","scale(0.95)","scale(1)"],"offset":[0,0.33,0.66,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1450,"easing":"ease-in-out","fill":"both","iterations":1}]

Use plastic or wooden blocks to help your baby develop motor skills. Let them stack, knock down, and explore different textures and colors. This simple activity builds hand-eye coordination

[{"selector":"#anim-69700c0c-9c1d-44d7-8d0e-c5d22665f585","keyframes":{"transform":["rotate(-540deg) scale(0.1)","none"],"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"fill":"both","iterations":1}] [{"selector":"#anim-bf4df86f-03f1-4b18-8ce9-926ac4216ab9","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-c38d4884-ede1-4521-b4a3-97140450a893","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(100%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Turn on some baby-friendly songs or rhymes and dance together! This activity encourages movement, coordination, and bonding while making playtime extra fun

[{"selector":"#anim-8906feb0-a7f9-4bc7-8178-841b2cd9ab0a","keyframes":{"transform":["rotate(-540deg) scale(0.1)","none"],"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"fill":"both","iterations":1}]

Fill up sensory bins with rice, pulses, or pasta. Let your baby explore different textures with their hands. You can also use safe household items and toys for sensory learning

[{"selector":"#anim-7357c96a-2575-4476-9dff-3a00967d343e","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(1)","scale(1.5)","scale(0.95)","scale(1)"],"offset":[0,0.33,0.66,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1450,"easing":"ease-in-out","fill":"both","iterations":1}] [{"selector":"#anim-0a590eaf-3e11-4091-a81e-35b1cb735239","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(115.55555%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.2, 0, .8, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-6334c5d2-20fb-4804-9a4b-bdafacd3fe4b","keyframes":{"transform":["rotateZ(180deg)","rotateZ(0deg)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.2, 0, .5, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

Read books with high-contrast pictures to improve concentration. Add excitement by using hand puppets and soft toys to bring stories to life for entertainment and learning

[{"selector":"#anim-4aa3eb09-c49a-41d7-a2c4-763700784d44","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-993a6dcf-6967-41a7-aa2d-29741279b27e","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.3333333333333333)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-24ef1925-2094-4518-b2d7-610baf44f1a1","keyframes":[{"offset":0,"transform":"translate3d(0, -153.76788%, 0)","easing":"cubic-bezier(.5, 0, 1, 1)"},{"offset":0.29,"transform":"translate3d(0, 0%, 0)","easing":"cubic-bezier(0, 0, .5, 1)"},{"offset":0.45,"transform":"translate3d(0, -43.239527855999995%, 0)","easing":"cubic-bezier(.5, 0, 1, 1)"},{"offset":0.61,"transform":"translate3d(0, 0%, 0)","easing":"cubic-bezier(0, 0, .5, 1)"},{"offset":0.71,"transform":"translate3d(0, -14.700209328%, 0)","easing":"cubic-bezier(.5, 0, 1, 1)"},{"offset":0.8,"transform":"translate3d(0, 0%, 0)","easing":"cubic-bezier(0, 0, .5, 1)"},{"offset":0.85,"transform":"translate3d(0, -5.5202668919999995%, 0)","easing":"cubic-bezier(.5, 0, 1, 1)"},{"offset":0.92,"transform":"translate3d(0, 0%, 0)","easing":"cubic-bezier(0, 0, .5, 1)"},{"offset":0.96,"transform":"translate3d(0, -2.3987789279999996%, 0)","easing":"cubic-bezier(.5, 0, 1, 1)"},{"offset":1,"transform":"translate3d(0, 0%, 0)","easing":"cubic-bezier(0, 0, .5, 1)"}],"delay":0,"duration":600,"fill":"both"}]

Set up a safe mirror in the play area—babies love watching their reflections! For more fun, let them splash in a shallow bathtub with floating toys to develop motor skills.
