What to do when tired and it's raining

My 2 year old has barely slept last night due to having a cough, meaning I've barely slept. I usually resort to going for a walk but it's pouring it down so can't do that. Any suggestions on some activities to do when absolutely exhausted but also something that would keep him entertained for a while?

Do you have any soft play areas around you? Those are the best for rainy days

i wouldn’t go to a softplay since your little one is sick, but instagram has great pages that suggest easy activities for little ones that can be done at home 🥰 search ‘toddler activities’ into instagram and see what works for you 🥰

A wooden spoon, a pan, and a cup of water.

My LO loves sensory stuff so we have coloured rice out to play a lot and hide puzzles pieces under the rice. He uses spoons/diggers/animals to find the pieces depending on what mood he's in and then does the puzzle as he goes along. Kinetic sand is also a favourite at the moment. A while back he played with a tray of rice crispies for about 3 hours and kept coming back to it for days afterwards, that was diggers/dump trucks, then farm animals, then dinosaurs and cycled back round then all again A bath is also a great way to kill time, literally just to play though on days like that x

Muffin pan and oatmeal or flaxseed or chia seeds and some little toys and dishes and spoons and my kid is entertained for a good 45 mins. Coloring and or painting depending how much mess you want today. A bath with some toys. Hope you guys feel better soon!
