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!

Sensory balloons

I filled six balloons with flour, quinoa, sprinkles, Moonclay (from a sample I had), baby wipes or hand lotion. Each balloon has a very different feel. All except the one filled with hand lotion are somewhat moldable.

West's favorite is the one with hand lotion because it's the squishiest.

To fill them I used a kitchen funnel and pushed as much of the ingredients in as possible.
Obviously, playing with these requires close supervision.
