I have most of this activities but my kids (3yr and 8yr) don't care all they want to do is watch TV or YouTube 🙁 I don't know how to inspire them because they want me to play and I'm not good or don't have the patience for it plus I have things to do too. I'm so sad and feel like a total failure 😞
This is a great video! Thank you!
No Joke. This has been the best selection of ideas for keeping a toddler busy. This video should be more popular!
The felt Bible graphs are like a vintage treasure! I've been trying to find a quality set and never have. The new ones are expensive and not as nice. When my boys were younger they would play with trio blocks for hours. We had to leave them behind when we had to move overseas suddenly and weren't able to get them back. My kids also love pattern blocks. They will make their own designs. I've been putting on a show for my little ones so I can get an afternoon rest. I hope I can do some of these things instead. I need my afternoon nap, but it's hard to not use a show to occupy them while I nap!
Where did you get the background sheets for the felt pieces?
Great advice! I really like your hair, it looks really good!
WOW. Thank You !
Great ideas. 🙂
Your choices are fantastic. Our favorites here have been.
1. Magnetic tiles
2. Basic wooden blocks with some little animals.
3. Lauri toddler tote and number activity sets for our busy bags.
4. Pattern blocks
Edited to add. Totally adding the magnetic letters/ board and the solday copybooks.
I have a couple my kids did for hours. My daughter has beads and will spend a long time threading them into necklaces and bracelets. And my son loves something called a kliko set. I bought it from a second hand charity shop. He has built castles, spiral houses, tractors, and other strange vehicles. Hours of entertainment and creativity. Thanks again for another terrific video. 💜👍
