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!

jingle bell and ribbon bracelet / anklet

To make these I just measured a lenght (about7") of 1/8 inch elastic to fit easily around my children's wrists or ankles, threaded bells on and tied the ends together. The ribbons are sewed in groups of three (you could do more or less). I cut the ribbon in about 12" lenghts and folded them over the elastic and sewed them. I also sewed the tied ends of the elastic into one of the groups of ribbon to really secure it. The bells would be a choking hazard if they came off.
