Playtime Ideas For Toddlers and Preschoolers
If you have a toddler or preschooler, then you understand just
how difficult it can be to keep them entertained (without resorting to
sticking them in front of the T.V.)!
We often refer to our toddler as "our little tornado" since she
runs through the house causing havoc wherever she goes! It is
difficult trying to continually come up with new ideas to keep her
occupied and out of my cupboards and drawers!
Of course she manages to entertain herself by using various tactics such
as smearing toothpaste all over her body, coloring all over the
furniture with markers, and trying to squash the new baby. Now, as
fun as these are for her...they are definitely not fun for MOM! I would
rather have some activities for her that are a little
less...destructive!
Well, I just found a craft book that contains actual crafts for
kids ages two and up. It is called "Little Kid Crafts For All Seasons"
and includes the bonus book: "Little Kid Paper Plate Crafts."
This book is designed with specific ideas and suggestions for making the
crafts more or less challenging, depending on your child's skill level.
The pages have colorful pictures of each craft and clear simple
instructions so that even someone like me (who is somewhat
"craft-impaired") can teach them!
Here is the
link for the craft books:
If you are a parent of young children; or work at a pre-school,
child-care center, elementary school, or with kids in general, then you
will love having this resource!
Have Fun!
