Talk to them, read to them, and if you’re multilingual, use all the language you can. Toddlers are like sponges.
For playtime, it’s about exploration. It doesn’t need to be a slick idea from the internet. Sticks and rocks are just as fun as a $200 play set, often more fun. See what you can do to involve them in what you’re doing. They want to be like you and be helpful. Of course, they’re pretty useless until they’re no longer toddlers, but often there’s something to do.
Check for local libraries or activity centres that have toddler activities.
