so… as u all may know, i have gone part-time, so i have 4 days to spend with my lovely bachi… 2 days we have all two our own.
Any activities you guys can recommend? she’s 2.. and rather than spending the whole day indoors watching tv and taking a nap, id like to maybe do some fun activities with her… rather than just lugging her around to attend to all my chores that havent been fulfilled cus of working full-time..
Local parks are always a favorite of little ones...playground, feeding ducks and squirrels. Toy stores sell these really cute little sandboxes that come with covers, you buy clean sand and cover it when done...I've never seen a little one refuse a sandbox! When the weather is warm, little baby pools are lots of fun too - I fill mine with a garden hose and add hot tap water so its not too cold. I used to sit in there with my little ones and we'd have have so much fun with floating ducks and water toys. If you like to garden, its always fun to plant flowers and veggies and let the little one help. When the plants mature they get so proud of their accomplishment.
sidewalk chalk - draw pictures, shapes, letters,
hopstotch
make bubbles
go on nature walks around the neighborhood
gardening for toddles
install a baby seat on your bike and bike away
baking with cooking with toddlers - they love mixing
fly kites (get cheap ones fromthe $ store)
If the weather permits, spend some good time outdoors, like at a park, walking trails, or take her to the library for toddler story time sessions, show her around the books and crafts.
we have a small park opposite our home.. the only issue is in melbourne the sun is extremely strong and the UV rays are horrible.. hence we try to take her out only about an hour before maghrib.. U dont see many kids outside before that here..
I'm thinking of taking her to the pools one day a week.. just me and heba time.. i wanted to get her lessons, but i might wait a lil bit longer i guess till she's three
