Let him play word games with you as you feed him. While working on domestic chores let him help even if its messy and also let him play with empty boxes, water and measuring rice and lentils. Read him a story every night, make up voices and let him change the story and make believe. Call him from work at a fixed time and tell him a joke or get him to find some hidden treasure you have kept in a safe place at home.
You gotta find time at least once a week to go out together to a park, mall, shopping, zoo or even a bus ride or for a juice or icecream. Pack a picnic lunch from home with his help.
Pool resources with other mothers in the same siyuation and then once in a month or more often each of you can take all the kids together to your own place or somewhere safe and entertaining. that way you too can get things done whilst he is busy with some other mother in charge. Let your husband also be part of your together planning or even do it alone once a week. BOL

DOing just about anything with a child this age is, well it's not easy, but it's easier now than it will be.
Every activity you do with him is going to be special, as he just wants to spend time with you- the place doesn't matter, as much as the time.
You could like some people are saying, take him to the park. Or maybe a children's museum, or really just outside is going to be enough. Go for a walk, do a scavenger hunt ( i.e. make a real easy list of things to find, like a small rock, a red leaf and a paper bag...violia)
You can cook together. ( something simple like pb and j just make sure to really be STOKED about what he makes or cookies are good too, anything that can be stirred)
Paint together. No paints, use water/dirt= mud painting. Afterwords a nice big BUBBLE bath. Really you can do just about anything with mud, it will bring a toddler much joy.
Play grocery store. ( they love being cashier )
Play dress-up.
Go to the library.
I know it's rough finding stuff to do with your kids, I have a three year old and I tell you it's easy to run out of fun things to do. But really, they are up for just about anything, like I said, YOU are the best element.
Good luck and fun playing.

Take him to the couch. The room should be quiet.
Sit with him alone and read him a happy children's story book.
It is time well spent and not expensive.
A book can take him to any land. There will be magic and kings and fairies and great ships. There will be love and princesses and castles in the clouds.
Most of all, there will be mommy sitting next to him and giving him precious attention and love. You alone, are the most important person or thing in his little life.
If you cannot afford books, they are borrowed free from the public library.
Children are God's gifts of love to us.
Take some time for yourself too. Sit in a warm bubble bath and soak in glamour and comfort when your baby is sleeping. Pamper yourself a little. You work hard and deserve some joy.

There's lots of things you can do at home too, like play his favourite games, lay in bed and just tickle him till he giggles, play with his toys with him, watch his favourite video/CD of cartoons or whatever. You can take him out to the park or in a pram or near the lake. Nature is the best way to rear a healthy child, get his some good fresh air and take him there.

Spend quality time with him now when you come back from office instead of being engrossed in your routine works. At this age it may not impact much but then couple of years down the line he would be more demanding of your time spent with him.

Take him to the museum to see the pretty pictures. Most museums in major cities are free on Thursday and they tend to have children's activities. Or you could enroll him in a class for toddlers like gymbore.

I think the library is a wonderful place. You can go get some childrens books, and bring them home. Read to him before he goes to bed at night. Language is love.
