Take empty drink bottles, smush them, and leave them around the floor to crawl after and play. My 7mo can entertain herself with those forever.

On the same note (but can also use any clear container like those disposable ones), putting hard small things inside a bottle is very fun for babies 6m+ to shake. It does make a loud sound so use with care;) but my baby loves it. For crawling babies, anything that rolls and can therefore roll away from them is fun because then they can crawl after it to catch it.

One more - DIY magic tissue box, put scraps of fabric in a tissue box and let the babies pull them out. They love it! Google for more info on how to make that one.

Give them a pkg of plastic cups. Make towers and let them knock them down, smash them...

Finger play games like where is thumbkin, itsy bitsy spider, peekaboo, this little piggy, you can Google more

You can make glittery water in water bottles and when they shake them it's pretty to look at.

You can read them books

Play shape sorter or busy box

Magna tiles are easy to use for the older ones

Listen to music specifically for babies

Blowing/Popping bubbles

Roll y Poll y with a large light ball. Or catch or kick

They can play with a mirror if they have teeth. Babies love interacting with their reflection
