Delaney has a fun activity to share: Water, Water Everywhere Fill a dishpan with water and place it on a towel on the floor (or better, outside). Give your little plastic cups, spoons, bowls, funnels, etc. Watch them pour, splash, and more. You could also add some food coloring to the water for a new twist on water play. As with any water activity, supervise carefully and pour all water out when you are done and use fresh water when playing again! This is not only a great sensory activity, but also a fun and easy way to keep your littles cool with warmer weather.

Aehyun has two art activities to share with you: 1. Pom Pom Pineapple: Cut an oval shape from white paper and use green construction cut-outs to glue on top, a pom pom attached to a clothespin and orange or yellow paint. The dipping and stamping of the dot brush is so fun and beneficial for bored kids at home. 2. Dande-Lion: You draw a lions face on a sheet of white paper and set out a bottle of glue + a bin of our collected dandelions for this simple craft. We had the best time gluing the fuzzy yellow flowers on the lions face.

ARE YOUR KIDS STUCK HOME? Need some indoor activities for your kids ASAP? Here it is: my 40+ BEST INDOOR ACTIVITY IDEAS. I know so many of us have kids coming h...ome for the next few weeks due to Coronavirus - what will they do all day? For me, I love an activity as a reset button, a break, a helpful tool to get play going in our house. If I have a kid struggling or siblings fighting or I just need a quick break from it all... activities are where I turn. I went through my website all morning looking for the EASIEST activities with the fewest and most basic supplies. In my BEST INDOOR ACTIVITIES LIST, you will also find a short shopping list should you need to stock up on a few supplies. The list is light and as with most of my activities, I use basic supplies that we have around the home. Activities dont need to be fancy or overly complicated or stunningly beautiful to be impactful, engaging, and helpful. I so hope this list can give you some ideas and a jumping off point as many of us look to a future with kids at home. Ill keep being here with ideas and ways to navigate these days, but for now - hopefully this is a helpful place for you to start. SEE IT HERE: https://busytoddler.com/2020/03/indoor-activities/

While we are all at home practicing social distancing, we thought we would share some activities and ideas for parents to keep your children busy and having fun while at home. Take care of yourselves.
