I spend a lot of time playing with and "teaching" my 20 month old. She has always needed a lot of attention, and is not big on playing by herself. The older she gets, the more she is happy amusing herself, but in general she wants to interact and talk about things. I talk to her about what she seems interested in, and she tells me about her world using what words she has.
I take my cues from her - if she seems happy doing what she's doing, I stay out of it. Most of the time, she wants me to engage.
