What can you do with a one year old to keep them busy?

Cooking dinner but a one year old won't let me put them down. I need both hands to cook so how do you keep a one year old busy?

Sometimes the high chair with a special you or something messy to play in works . Keeps the child and the mess contained. Plus they are high up and if can be placed just so, near you.
