1. Scavenger hunt - a great outdoor activity to keep little ones busy. Create a list of easy-to-find objects and let them tick off the items as they find them.
2. Indoor camping - a fun way to encourage role play and imagination. Set up a tent, tell stories, make s'mores and have some fun pretend campfires.
3. Obstacle course - great for fine and gross motor skills and loads of fun too! Use household items and create challenges to encourage crawling, climbing, balancing, etc.
4. Market stand - a good way to work on numeracy skills and teach about money. Set up a little stall and use pretend money or even make some homemade play coins.
5. Nature art - collect natural materials like leaves, sticks, and flowers to create art pieces. It encourages observation and is a fun way to get toddler's creative juices flowing!
6. Box city - save those big amazon boxes and create a whole city using shoe boxes too. Toddler's can decorate them and let their imagination run wild.
7. Fishing game - create your own 'fishing rod' with a plastic fork and some string, add magnets and let toddlers fish for objects around the house!
8. Backwards day - a fun way to mix up routine and encourages creativity. Eat meals in unconventional ways, wear clothes backwards and talk about everything being the opposite.
9. Bubble wrap dance - fun, sensory play. Put on some music and let toddlers stomp, jump and burst bubble wrap all over the house! Great for gross motor skills too.
10. Camping sensory bin - a simple indoor activity using rice or pasta as 'campfire' with tiny marshmallows, pinecones, and toy forest animals. Encourage storytelling and descriptive words.
