Fun Indoor Activities For Toddlers & Kids To Aid Development
Posted by Sarah on September 25, 2009 · Leave a Comment
The leaves are turning, the wind is blowing and a ton of leaves are sprinkled all over our lawn, waiting for their yearly clean-up! It’s fall in New Jersey! That means I have to come up with countless activities to keep our active and busy 2 year occupied, entertained and happy.
Since putting her in front of the TV is not typically my style, I’m always on the lookout for intelligent fun toys for her to play with.
Some of our favorite indoor activities right now are art, finger painting, puppet shows and reading! This clever art easel from Moma can be used as a chalkboard, a white dry-erase board, and even a puppet theater. Great for toddlers!
Pretend play and art stimulate children’s imagination and strengthens their language skills and aids in proper social development. We enrolled Kayla in pre-school a few weeks ago, and they seem to be doing an art project every time I take her there. We are signed up for 3 times per week, 3 hours per day. The arts and crafts they seem to create are fantastic for their age. It’s awesome!
These cityscapes templates from the MOMA store could be a little too advanced for a child under 2 1/2 to trace around, but they can definitely occupy a 3-year old. A set of four, these templates feature iconic images from New York City, London, Tokyo, and Paris. For ages 3 and up.
So there you have it. A few ideas on entertaining your toddler indoors. Hopefully, you have prepared yourself for the winter months with tons of activities up your sleeve and a ton of patience!
