10 Fun Activities For Toddlers
- Box in and out game-Get a big card board box, then get some objects, like shape blocks, or wooden blocks, small cups etc. Demonstrate putting them in and out, then let your toddler have fun doing it!
- Ride on Toys-Toddlers LOVE to use Ride on Toys-I always had a couple in the basement and the back yard.
- Finger Painting-They love to get dirty, as you know, so what’s better then getting paint all over your hands, feeling the texture and creating?!
- PlayDough- Make some homemade playdough and then let them loose!! Give them a rolling pin, some playdough toys to stamp with and let them create.
- Table Top Play- I have always found young toddlers around age 1-2 love this. Let them sit in their high chair or booster chair. Give them some various size cups, objects to put them in and some blocks, and watch them play. Through some cheerios on there for eating and discovering how to put them in and out of the cups.
- Large Puzzles, with big pegs. Show them how to put the circle in and out and then let them try. A simple puzzle with maybe three big pieces to put in and out is best.
- Shape Sorters – Name the shapes with your child while you play with it and show them how to put them in. Great way to teach shapes and matching.
- Stacking Buckets - These are great. Kids love building towers with them and then knocking it down. Then try to figure out together how to get the buckets into eachother.
- Stacking Rings – Show your shild how to put on and take off, then let them try. They will love mastering this.
- Side Walk Chalk – Get some big pieces of sidewalk chalk-and let them create!! They can make a track for their cars or a big picture.

How bout making tent under the table covered by blanket ??
.-= active toddler´s last blog ..Doctor at Home – Knowing the Symptoms =-.
Active Toddler great idea! My kids love that.
Fill small wading pool or even large tub with ball pit balls, give kids large plastic serving spoons and let them go fishing( have an empty tub to put your’”caught fish “in)ask the kids to fish for blue, red, yellow etc. Make sure spoon is large enough so not to frustrate. They will fish untill every fish is caught, then dump back the fishes and start over.
Great tips and ideas to keep toddlers busy. I am a stay at home Dad with a 18 month old little girl who keeps me on my toes. Some days I just run out of ideas to keep her out of mischief. Thanks again
Ian, I am glad it is helpful for you!
@active toddler: You remind me of my childhood. I used to make a tent out of my table and blanket when I was young, all without adult supervision. I remember placing heavy objects on the blanket to make sure it won’t fall, which I now think is too dangerous.
My mom would be really unhappy when she discover us doing that. But hey, it’s now all sweet memories.

You certainly hit on the big ones, but don’t forget plastic Easter eggs and magnetic letters. These little gems have kept my toddler busy for hours. He brings them to bed with him and I can hear him opening and closing the eggs on the monitor. LOL.
