Activities for Toddlers (at home)

bubbles

playdoh

tea party/picnic- we put a baby blanket get our her teddies/iggle piggle etc,..sit them around and make them pretend tea.food ect, see feed them etc.

baking! Isla LOVES breaking the eggs and stiring, and licking the bowl- she calls it 'wolla wolla' for 'round and round' Lol!

making huts. Isla love it when we sit under a blanket, play peek a boo, take turns hiding under it etc, you can drap it over chairs to make tunnels to crawl through etc too.

Play with a big card board box- Isla decided where she wanted windows, door etc cut,..you can paint it, play in it etc etc

Isla loves obsatcle courses too,...like if u doing it inside you can put a text book to jump off,..selotape in a line to walk a long like a balance beam, cans off food along the hall way in a zig zag to crawl around etc.

Coop loves playing with water. We go outside with the measuring cups, watering can, wooden spoons etc and a tub of water.

Have you got a swing at home, or a safe outdoor area where he can amuse himself?

scribbling with chalk on concrete.

I haven't got anything else new to add, but maybe this should be a sticky thread?

you can also fill a bucket/container etc with water, give him a paintbrush and let him 'paint' a fence/gate/window outside. Ella loves doing this and it is a lot less messier than normal painting.

Ella also loves 'drawing' with crayons and just got her a cheap $1 colouring in book (bit more interesting than blank paper).

I bought a roll of brown paper, cut some big sheets off it,..made stencils by cutting shapes out of potates and Isla decorated the paper using christmas coloured paints, and did finegr painting and whatever she wanted on it,.. to use as wrapping paper! ( hope my ss person doesnt read this cos we wrapped her present in this paper!)
