Infant and Toddler activities

As a stay at home mom, I take my job very seriously. I am constantly on the look out for fun things to do with my nearly 3 year old and 16 month old. Here you will find easy and cheap activities to do with your children. I try to use things that you'd find already in your home or things that are easy to find. Many of the activities we do help sharpen preschool skills such as gross and fine motor skills, hand eye coordination, self confidence and many more.

I hope you find all the infant and toddler activities you're looking for!

pudding paint

The tongue is a sure sign of concentration

He didn't trust me that it was edible for quite a while, but once he tasted it, he looked at me like 'wow'

For this project I just made half of a package of instant vanilla pudding, divided it up into 4 Dixie cups, added food color and let them cool. Once cool, I poured two color each in to two squeeze bottles. I really could have fit all four colors in one, that's what I'll do next time. Then I gave him some Froot Loops and let him go to town. He enjoyed covering the Froot loops in the paint, then eating them, of course. He never gets sugary snacks like this so he thought it was quite a treat to paint and snack at the same time. Next time, I think I'll do it with vanilla yougert to make it a bit more healthy.


And while he painted, Lula harassed Kip.
