I've recently putting stuff In bins and Tupperware from the dollar store lol-stuff like like pom poms, plastic animals, etc and using measuring cups to scoop or just put things in and out. She's loved it. I don't feel ready to do sensory bins and deal with the mess so this is my happy medium for now that's been successful!
@Katherine that’s actually a great idea! Mine was super into the Tupperware at my dad’s the other day. I’m going to try this
I tape butcher paper on the wall give my little one the washable markers and she goes crazy drawing on the paper for a while! Also I agree climbing on stuff helps
@Cat yes! I realized she was enjoying dollar tree junk just as much/if not more than toys so we are rolling with it lol
@Andrea I love this idea! No mess on the wall??
@Katherine if she does get it on the wall you can literally wash it off with a baby wipe it’s so easy But she is pretty good at not drawing on the walls
We do lots of pretend play. Lately her favorite is building a fort and pretending to be a bear in a cave haha. Also lots of pretend play taking care of baby dolls and stuffed animals. Marching around with the house with a spatula is also a favorite 🤷🏽♀️ haha idk we came up with it one day and my daughter will do it for a lonngggg time and get everyone in the house involved. Reading, blocks, coloring on big boxes, painting, making obstacle courses to climb/crawl/walk over are also favs
It’s hard. I’ve resorted to buying more and more toys and just trying to get out f the house when I can. Plus giving them stuff to climb on helps too. But I’m also having trouble limiting screen time so you aren’t alone.
