Coloring- You may think this is an easy idea to come up with, but many adults do not even have crayons in their homes unless they already have older children. With my oldest daughter it took me quite a while to decide if I should offer her the use of crayons. I was afraid she would eat them, write on my walls or even stick them in places they shouldn't be. Luckily, I was happily surprised when it turned out that she loved to color. You will love all of the beautiful creations your toddler can come up with.
Pudding Bathes- I know this sounds funny and you're probably thinking I've gone insane. Bare with me though. Pudding bathes are very popular here at my house. This is a very simple toddler activity that isn't as messy as it sounds. You take one empty bathtub, one diapered toddler (or more toddlers if you have a tub big enough) and pudding of your choice. Vanilla is our pudding of choice. Place your toddler in the bath tub, plop in the pudding and let the fun begin. Let your toddler "finger paint" all over themselves and the inside of the tub. Don't forget your camera to capture those shots of smiling pudding-covered faces. Once the fun is over you just turn on the bath water to get your toddler and tub sparkling clean.
Bubbles- Bubbles are the number one favorite toddler activity with my children. Bubbles float, bounce, bob and finally POP! They are shiney and very intriguing to a toddler. Even if your toddler doesn't accomplish the actual blowing of bubbles, they will love chasing and trying to catch them. You could even buy some cheap bubble blowers at your local dollar stores to add to the enjoyment.
