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!

Spray and squirt bottle painting

The squirt bottles were a hit

It was fun to watch him perfect his spraying technique

Squirting water on 'erased' the paint

I bought squirt bottles and spray bottles at Michaels today with this project in mind. First I tried to color the water with food coloring, but it would have taken a lot to get bright colors. So, I just mixed in some tempra paints and that worked well. For West, again, this wasn't about creating art, but about dumping and spraying and getting messy. The paint didn't stick to the paper anyway which made it fun to 'erase' with the water. I have a feeling we'll be doing this again soon.
