Activities To Do With Your Toddler At Home

Family

5 Apr

Mommy's bdayIt’s a challenging time.  My heart hurts knowing how COVID-19 is effecting us all.  As a mom to a very active 2-year-old, I have been doing my best to keep her busy and engaged.  I have found that having a set schedule and planning an activities keeps her happy — and me, somewhat sane! Today I’m sharing some indoor activities that we have been doing and you can do with your toddler!

Have an impromptu photo shoot

Madeline picked out her outfit and did ‘her makeup‘ and we both got dressed up — with no where to go — and smiled for the camera! This is an easy ‘activity’ that we both had fun with!

Make a Sensory Bin

Making a sensory bin is super easy! You start by taking a large plastic bin and filling it with rice, cereal, water, or whatever you want really, then add ‘the goods’! We like to add colorful measuring cups (I got her her very own set just for the sensory bin), funnels, and learning toys!

The past few times, I have filled the bin up with rice.  She loves to put her hands through the rice.  I think it reminds her of being on the beach and putting her hands in the sand! Her favorite is transferring the rice from one measuring cup to the other and watching the rice go down the funnels!

Play in the Band

We’re all about singing and dancing over here! We put on Pandora and Madeline jams out to her favorite music with her guitar, keyboard, drum-set.

Have a Spa Day

We’ve been enjoying long bubble baths (yes, I get in too!) and doing our nails! This is the first time I painted Madeline’s nails, only because I found this safe kid-friendly nail polish.  She LOVED having nails to match mommy’s and felt like such a big girl.Mommy's bday

Build, Create, Make…

Madeline loves to build towers, castles, and barns in 2-D and 3-D with her Magna-Tiles.  Her Dot-Markers are a big hit for ‘dotting’ and painting… they come with a great activity book too! Of course, Play-Doh and Legos are also a bit hit over here!

 

If your little one is younger, make sure you check out my Must Have Items from Birth to 2-Years-Old.  I hope these ideas are helpful. I’d love to hear what activities you’re doing with your toddler at home.  Stay inside… stay healthy… we’ll get through this together.

I was born a fashionista… you would think I was wearing a hot pink tulle skirt and a cropped lace blouse, size: newborn. That’s how far back my passion for all things fashion goes — for as long as I can remember. Ever since I was a little girl the creative fashionista fire in me has burned bright, and as I sit here today I have that same spark sizzling on and on….

I think of my style as romantic and feminine — but also creative and accessible. I like to be bold and creative with my outfit choices, styling pieces that one may not think would work with another piece. I believe that confidence comes not only from within, but also how you present yourself on a daily basis. When you walk out the house wearing a cute outfit that you feel good in, you are bound to smile! I hope to give you the confidence to put on that pleated skirt that’s been sitting in the back of your closet and feel like a million bucks prancing around in it!

I hope to instill that same confidence in my precious little princess, Madeline. Taking after her mommy, she already loves playing dress up – and you better believe that she always has a smile on her face!

I have had the pleasure of working with brands such as: Amazon, Anthropologie, Banana Republic, Christian Louboutin, Henri Bendel, Rent the Runway, and REVOLVE Clothing to name just a few. I have been featured in Crain’s Chicago Business, InStyle, and on WGN-TV.

If I give you just one idea for styling an outfit that makes you feel like a million bucks, then I will consider my work a success.
