How do you amuse an almost 2yo on rainy day?

[sirenz]

one thing I do for my ds on rainy days is get some pantry items from the cupboard (packets of pasta, noodles, small tins spaghetti etc), one of my washing baskets (uses it as a trolley) and a few green shopping bags and ds plays shops. The first time I did this he played ALL DAY, he loved it, esp when mummy would repack the 'shelves' (the coffee table and floor lol) and he could go shopping all over again

play dough is a definate must.

how about making pasta for dinner together? my ds had so much fun the other day when we made home made pasta

ummm folding clothes or playing with the pegs is a hit with ds too.

thats all i can think of right now. hope it helps

Cubby houses is a big hit in our place!

Other things we do:
- floor picnics with all the stuffed toys
- playdough, making it and then playing with it
- cleaning with wipes, the girls love this!
- help with hanging out the washing-
- craft if you have paper, sticky tape and sissors you can make all sorts of things, like hats, planes, etc
- counting money - supervised of course!
- sorting out the toys into colours shapes sizes
- music with pots and pans and a spoon
- cooking cakes, muffins, slices etc
- playing with tupperware!
- ooh the food pantry shopping is a great idea!
- tv
- music, dancing to the music!
- showing them all old photos they really enjoy that.


thats all I can think of now!
