Fun things to do with a toddler??

Question

I'm babysitting, and we're really bored. I want to do something that I won't get bored with either. He's got lots of toys, but nothing that he plays with for more than 5 minutes. He's 24 months old... I'm 13. Any suggestions besides reading, coloring, bathtime, going outside, and bubbles would be great. We've done all of that. Please be creative, and it'll get you 10 points. Thanks!!

Answer 1

i like making crafts with household items you can find in the recycling, an egg carton can be a caterpillar with some paint and some pipecleaners,  it could be a bat if you cut it right and rig it up with a rubberband.

i also like to cut out stuff from magazines and let my son use a glue stick to make a collage,

we make play-doh then make things with it (you can easily find a recipe online)

you could make a fruit salad snack together

you could get some dirt and play bulldozers with shovels

Make mud and make creative hand prints on the sidewalk or driveway, pick flowers (or weeds) to put in a vase for mommy when she gets home.

make cards for mommy and daddy, use stickers and glitter to make it more special than coloring.

Answer 2

play pretend, like get a huge box and pretend it's a firetruck and pretend he's a fire fighter, or dress up is another good idea for 2 year olds, you could also watch a kid movie like sesame street with him.
