Sick day activities for 1 year olds

A sick day with a 1 year old has its own rules — different energy, different space, different patience levels. At one, attention spans run to a few minutes and almost everything is sensory — expect to repeat the same thing many times.

These activities were picked specifically for that situation, with realistic durations and a clear note on whether you need to take part.
