Answer 2

Bubbles are so much fun. I have a 3 year old nephew, and I babysit him a lot. He loves bubbles. I'll blow them and he runs around and tries to catch them.

Crayola makes clay, and it's great. It's not sticky or messy, so there's not much to clean up.

Sometimes, I'll fill a container with shaving cream, and he loves to play with it. Be careful not o get it in his eyes though. It gets a little messy, but it's worth it.

If it's nice out, you can use chalk, kids always like that, but I guess that's a little girly.

Coloring is alright, but kids seem to get bored with it.

If you're up for a challenge, you could always finger paint.

I spy is fun.

Tickling is fun. Most kids like that.

My nephew loves "dancing"

Have him help make lunch. Help him spread peanut butter on a piece of bread or something.

Jig saw puzzles maybe?

Splash around in the bath tub

My nephew loves big empty boxes. We make "towers" and then of course, like any other kid, he runs and knocks it all down.

Kids love pots and pans. give him a couple along with a spoon or something to drum with. If you want to reduce the noise, try plastic bowls.

Just a list of a few things my nephew and I do together, hope I helped.

Answer 7

I'm a Granny, and my granddaughter (2 1/2) LOVES anything to do with  "helping."  Right now, her very favorite thing is to help Papaw bring in firewood.  She also loves Playdoh, coloring, painting, and anything to do with cooking.  These are great indoor activities for the winter.  Papaw puts her to work with a block of wood and a piece of sandpaper.  She loves it!

In the spring, we will have her digging to put in a garden.  She can choose the crops & plant them.  What fun!
