There's so many ways to keep toddlers entertained and engaged, without resorting to screen time!
What are some of your go-to, mess-free activities that you can do at home or on the go?
Here are a few that come to mind:
1. Sticker books are great for quiet concentration and fine motor skills practice. Bonus: They're easy to throw in your bag for restaurant dining out too!
2. Make a simple "busy book" with velcro coins, buttons, zippers, buckles, etc. Toddlers love interactive books like these that encourage them to touch and feel.
3. Pipe cleaners and pom poms are a fun, cheap sensory play option. Threading them onto shoe box lids keeps little hands busy!
4. "Painting" with whipped cream or shaving cream is a fun, messy twist on arts and crafts that's easy to clean up too!
5. What about using your senses: name some touch or smell activities!
Share your best ideas for inspiring toddler play!
