Hey moms! I am struggling to find ways to keep my daughter entertained durning her wake windows. I feel like she’s bored and I’ve done all the things. Gone on walks, read stories, tummy time, self play pen play etc any suggestions? What are ya’ll doing with your little ones?

So I want to change things up a little bit for my 22 month old in terms of his activities and right now he has mess free markers from Crayola that are really nice but he’s kind of just scribbling and I feel like it would be more fun for him to actually color with crayons, but I’m afraid of him coloring on walls or f...

Hello 👋 we’re planning a trip to Mallorca when baby will be around 8 weeks. Has anyone got tips for travelling with a baby this small and do easyJet allow you to take on a pram or car seat? We will be hiring a car. Any advice welcomed pls 😊

Any throwback shows that you love watching with your little one? Our favorites include Arthur, Little Bear, Veggie Tales, Caillou, and Thomas The Train to name a few! We actually got a VHS TV and watch a lot of oldies on there! Check out my childhood Arthur collection, my sons favorite is Arthur Makes the Team!

Anyone using crayons with their babies for activities? If so what kind are you using?

I’m one who doesn’t want to get loads of toys or big things that aren’t going to be useful or just left to one side/bashed about. Also we live in a 1 bed flat so space is limited x

What have your parents taught your little ones that is really wonderful and memorable? My parents seem like they need a bit of coaching when they spend time with my toddler son 🤦🏽‍♀️

Really need to up my toy game, has anyone got any suggestions of what their LO loves to play with at this age? Feel like shakers etc are just getting boring

Hey gang! Hope you’re all ok! I say this because I have been going through terrible twos for god knows how long 😂 How do you all get housework done with your toddlers! My son is in everythinggg and I worry he’ll hurt himself if I’m busy doing something else! He’s always supervised as I’m this much of a worrier!…

I’m thinking of doing a trip on my own (city break or Canary Islands vibe) in Jan or Feb, and was wondering if anyone had any experience? How difficult is it? I know it won’t be as relaxing but will I regret it completely?

I know it is not recommended nor encouraged. My nanny plays cartoons to my 18 month old child during meals. I am not happy with it, but this is what works for her to feed my child. I want to ask to replace cartoons with something educational. Appreciate any recommendations and links. Many thanks

My husband and I are in the process of looking to open our own indoor children's playground. However, we want to stay away from slides, trampolines, arcades etc. We would like it to be geared more towards smaller children ages 7 and younger. What would you look for or like to see in an indoor play space for your lo?

Would love to know what everyone has planned for Christmas Eve. I have planned Christmas Day and Boxing Day (also my little girl’s birthday) but not sure what we should do on Christmas Eve. Any ideas?

I get being present with a baby/toddler can be alot but.its also fun. Why does everyone just put tvs/tablets/and phones to kids instead of actually engaging with them!? That's what babysitting is. I'm not judging moms, which choose to do so. I'm complaining about those who do it to children knowing the parents prefe...

My little girl is so creative we do painting,drawing most days she loves it I’m just wondering if anyone has any art ideas that a two year old can do semi independent that isn’t just drawing as she’s so independent and doesn’t like help, I love her creative little mind I’m just struggling of what else we can create ...

This is kinda twofold. First, what are some crafts or activities you've been doing with your toddlers. Second, if anyone is open to it can you post a pic of your toddler's room set up?

I'm planning a trip with my LO next year, he'll be 13m by that time, and he'll probably be walking as he's already very mobile now. We're taking long haul flight, and I'm coming back with him alone as my partner wont stay as long as us. I heard 12-18m is a difficult age to travel with, as they're full of energy ...

Is there anything for a 17/18 month old to do there?
