Highchair with toys tied on to the seat/tray
BALL PIT. (in a playpen)
We baby proofed and gated our living area, so they were free (and safe) to roam the whole area - found that much better than playpens.
Big soft stacking cubes.
BALL PIT.
ummm I can't remember what else was good at that age!

A washing basket full of clean, folded clothes can keep my girls occupied for hours 
.
We have a few small tubs of toys, and only one is out at a time, so when I rotate they will happily play with the 'new' toys for quite a while.
Big sisters are great entertainers!
A bowl and plastic ladle (each!! learnt that the hard way) are also very popular. Or a spoon and a little cup each.
Mostly though I get stuff done when they sleep!

Yes an older sibling would help! I have a singleton daughter the same age but I'm not much good for advice because her older brother and sister keep her well entertained!
