  16. Wonderful guide thank you!! My kids love 'mummy and me' activity time which I should do more often with them. Recently the kids were having a 'feral' day and we played musical bums – sort of like musical statues but they had to sit on their rear when the music stopped. Certainly all the up and downs wore then out – winning!

  26. Hi! This might be silly, but could you tell me how you clean your egg cartons? And is there a trick to being sure bacteria isn't lurking in the pores of the Styrofoam? I'm afraid of using them and having my boys get sick from improper cleaning. I appreciate your help! Also, thank you for this fabulous list of ideas! 🙂

    Reply

    • Lynda, that is not a silly question at all. First off, I always seem to leave the egg carton sitting around so any residual egg white is dried by the time I ever use it with the kids. Then it just flakes away, and you can wash with warm soapy water if you like, but I have to be honest, I have not usually done more than wipe the dry carton out. My kids never really put the cartons in their mouths, and I made sure to tell them not to if they tried. Do what you feel comfortable with-wiping it out with a wet soapy rag or even a baby wipe could work well. Then let it dry completely before using. Take care!

  27. Thank you! We can't afford preschool at the moment for when our son turns 3 soon (the cheapest is $450/month) and I had been worried about just letting him not go to preschool and then go to kindergarten and being behind. This site is going to be a huge help in making a plan to teach him. Even if it's only an hour at a time, 3 times a week right now. This will be a huge help.

    • I bet you will be amazed by what he learns just from being with you and engaging with you at home. The simple things are what really instill learning. These are the same activities I used to "homeschool preschool" when my son was 3 and 4 years, so I know they work! 🙂 I wish you well.

  28. I love shaving foam, especially using it in the bathtub as it its easier to clean and turns the bathwater all different colours. The pom magnet board is also an excellent idea. Thank you for this fantastic list.

  39. Here's a really fun and cheap activity…We paint exterior walls with water. So get the normal paint things for outside that house that you probably have already, and use water instead of paint. Painting brick or stucco is best bc it is easier to see. They can see where they are painting, and then it just dries up when they are done, no cleanup!

However, my nephew is turning two next month, and he absolutely loves to do art-related activities with his mom. This post has *tons* of ideas that I can use as jumping off points for presents! For his first birthday, I gave him a bunch of hand-made items, and it will be great to be able to continue the tradition.

    • Heather, I have done that for a friend's daughter! I love the idea of making learning games and packaging them up for birthdays. I am so glad that you are doing that as a tradition with your nephew. What a devoted aunt! I am so glad that you found some inspiration on this list!

    Do you have any thoughts about teaching a 2nd language early on? 🙂

    Reply

    • Rosita, I appreciate your comment. I am glad that the activities will work for you in your home. As far as 2nd languages, I think teaching both as early as possible is key. Speak them interchangeably. Initially, when children learn 2 languages at once, there can be more confusion or a longer period of time needed for the vocabulary to "stick". This eventually opens them up to being more capable language learners because the brain gets primed to connect the vocab from one language with another. Your child may speak a little later than 1-language children, but his/her vocabulary will be much larger once mastery of both languages occurs. Just be patient and take it slowly. I think teaching 2 languages in the home is an enriching experience. Go for it!

    • Rashmi, The list above is a place to start. I would encourage you to try to find a balance between spending one-on-one time with her and spending time on your work. She may need more time with you right now. It always helps to introduce an activity to her with you present and then the next time she will be better able to try it out on her own. I hope that helps! Best to you!

Maybe outside in the warmer months when you can hose them off with water to clean them up?? I am sure with active kiddos you are always finding ways to keep them burning off energy. All the best to you and your twin boys!

    I have also done shaving foam on a baking tray. sprayed it in a line downwards with drops of food colouring from top to bottom then my daughter moved the shaving from side to side and made a rainbow! the food colouring washed off great as it was mixed with the shaving foam. Made other pictures with different colours, sea, grass etc etc. Endless opportunities once you start!

    Reply

    • Kelly, I hear ya! My daughter is 18 months, and I think it's more than being bored-it's their developmental stage of wanting to explore and try everything that they see. Self-control (or lack thereof) for toddlers is developing, so they really are impulse driven. Simple activities are great so that prep time is small on your end and there are a lot of productive options for your son to keep him 'busy' and learning. I am glad that you can use some of them in your home.

  93. My son will be 12 months in a week… I know he would love all these activities but I also know that everything would end up in his mouth! For example the tape activity.. he would love peeling it off but he would also want to chew on the tape… Do you have any tips? I swear he is well fed, he loves food, but he wants to chew on everything. These activities are great and thank you for sharing!

    Reply

    • First off, happy birthday to your son! I am glad to hear that some of the activities here will work for you, but I do understand that many older infants and young toddlers are still putting A LOT in their mouths. I would suggest two things: #1, you can wait until he is less 'oral' to try some of the questionable ideas listed above, or #2, supervise and interact with him while playing with these ideas (such as the tape peel idea) and use the interactions as a teaching opportunity to reinforce that the tape does not go in the mouth. If you try the tape pull off, and he puts the tape in his mouth, I would say, "We peel the tape and stick it on the paper (or table), but we don't put it in our mouth. Yuck!" If he does it again, I would then say, "Ok, if you are going to put it in your mouth you are all done playing with it," and take the tape away. Eventually he will grow out of it. The third possibility, is feed him while he is playing-if he tries to put the tape in his mouth, offer him something he CAN put in his mouth and reinforce that the tape is not for eating, but a cracker is, for example. I hope those ideas can help!

    • Feel free to "steal" away. 🙂 I am glad that you can use a few of the ideas. You are absolutely right that many of the ideas on each age page can be modified for other age groups. All the best!

  98. I found your post via pintrest and I'm so glad I did! These are fantastic ideas! I just started home schooling my older two and have been at a loss of what to do to keep my little one busy. Definitely going to be trying a few of these ideas next week.

    • Great, Tasha! I am so glad to hear that your children will be getting so much of your time. How wonderful for them! I truly hope these activities can be helpful for keeping your little one busy (and learning) while you are teaching the older ones. All the best!

    • Theresa, thank you for the kind comment. I looked back at your site, but the linky list was closed already. I will try my best to look out for your next list and link up! 🙂 Thanks for stopping by!

  102. I babysit for a 13 month old and I am going to print this out, assemble some supplies in by "babysitting bag" and have them at the ready! He is a little love, exploring everything. I am really happy to add your hints to my arsenal. Thanks so much.

    • Well, the family you babysit for is so blessed to have a sitter that seeks out creative and educational activities for their child! Good for you! I am so glad that you commented here. Babysitting was my first experience caring for the children of others and it taught me so much about children. All the best to you as you care for that baby!

  105. Fantastic ideas and so simple to put together. Thank you I am off to "plan" some for mummy days this week. The junior teacher in me needs this inspiration for my children I am afraid to say!
