  1. I have a crazy addition to your list: Box Top Scavenger hunt!

    Yes, I’m a Box Top Coordinator for my school. It is so helpful to schools, it really is free money. And kids like to look for things. You can work on fine motor cutting skills in just cutting out the box top before the container is empty. 🙂

  2. Awesome list! My baby is 6 months old & I look forward to all the fun toddler times ahead. Thanks for sharing at the #HomeMattersParty 🙂

  3. Thanks for sharing all these great ideas. I have a two year old and 4 year old that would love these. Sometimes you just plain run out of ideas as a mom. I found this great post on Mom Resource Blog Party.

  4. Lots of great ideas, but I think 101 is my favorite. Thanks for sharing on the (mis)Adventures Mondays Blog Hop!

  5. A great list, thanks for posting. We are heading into the school holiday break and shocking weather here so we will need a whole bunch of indoor activities in the coming weeks, your list will be very helpful. Thanks

  6. I have been looking at a lot of mom blogs this morning and this is the first useful one. Wonderful list…fun! Found your link on Mom Blogs Party~*

  7. LOVE this list. Thank you for posting. I made our little girl ribbon dancing RINGS. We watched ribbon dancers and she wanted to do this. STICKS was NOT an option. Sam’s offers ketchup/mustard containers in packs of two. I cut the plastic connectors in half. After cutting away the ‘teeth’ that holds the bottles, I used a candle flame to smooth the rough edges. Use Daddy’s fishing spinners, fishing line to secure spinners to the plastic rings, loop ribbon into the spinners. You’ll have quite the safe twirler in the neighborhood!
    Pretend fishing or REAL fishing….always fun with toddlers. Thanks again for sharing.

  8. What a great list, Marina! Robbie just turned 2, and every weekend we have the same dilemma of what to do to entertain him. I just got so many ideas from this list! And for the record, we totally build a blanket fort (#9) this past weekend…and he loved it!!

  9. This is such a great list!!! I’m about to pin it. 🙂 And by the way, I’m also guilty of playing on my tablet when I could be playing with my kids.
