Sometimes I don't feel like going out.... but it is hard work entertaining a 2 year old at home all day. My 2 year old has a short attention span and wants to be active all the time... and I am pretty sure all 2 year olds are the same (correct me if I'm wrong). So, I have written a list of my 2 year old's 10 favourite things to do at home... and I would love to know what your kids love to do at home too. 1. Threading cut-up toilet paper rolls onto ribbon 2. Gluing with a tub of watered-down pva glue and a paintbrush 3. Playing in a homemade fort 4. Using puffy stickers that can be stuck down and pulled off over and over 5. Helping in the garden by cutting herbs or digging holes for planting 6. Gluing different materials like cotton balls and fabric with a gluestick 7. Painting anything... paper, rocks, cardboard, her hands 8. Playing with playdough 9. Pretend cooking with a mixture of flour and water 10. Practising scissor skills What do you think of this list?
