Running around the house and randomly breaking stuff... Nothing can be more interesting... I have that one too, but he's luckily 2 and a half now... He still runs around tho...

painting
drawing
sticking stickers onto paper and other bits... shape the paper into a crown or mask so he/she can wear it.
have a small paddle pool with ball pit balls in it.
have tunnel tents and little kids indoor tents.
supervised bath with bath toys in it
playing nursery rhymes and encouraging singing along and dancing.
playing peek a boo
playing on a keyboard or other small child musical instruments.

i assume you meant supervised things to do with a toddler so i hope you have some joy with these.. :) xx

If you have room and the funds, get a small plastic sliding board to keep indoors. Put it in a carpeted room and your kid will LOVE it! Also have lots of buckets and small (safe size) toys that baby can dump and switch from one container to another. When my oldest was that age one of her favorite things was piling up board books. She would go through the stack, open. close. throw. Then I'd set them up for her again. Also dancing to music, blocks, and setting inside a blow up tub/baby pool inside and filling it with ball pit balls to throw everywhere.

My son will be 18 month next week, and he likes to play with blocks, like the big soft ones kids can use to build castles, he likes big legos, he likes to watch TV a little, he likes to run around the living room while I chase him, he LOVES to play with clay, colors, although I would watch him cuz he likes to chew on things lol he loves to color, that's all I can think of, actually, he also likes music, like toddler music, he likes to sing and dance to it, he likes it when I count his toes and fingers, and he likes me to sing his ABC's. Hope this helps.
