Toddlers are very active and can have a difficult time staying indoors during the cold winter season.


We have had months and months of snow where we live and my toddler is fed up with the snow. If I'm being honest, I'm fed up with the snow too. We are all ready to start walking outside, going to the parks, and enjoying the sunshine again. Unfortunately, we may still be in for at least a few more weeks of winter. What can you do to entertain a toddler who is feeling house bound?

Babies are easier to keep entertained when you can not go outside. Simple interactive games keep your infant occupied when you can not get out of the house. Toddlers are a bit more difficult to keep occupied when you are stuck in the house but it can be done.

Pretend play activities can keep your toddler busy for hours and are a lot of fun for you to do together. Simple activities such as water play, play dough, and art activities will keep your toddler active help you both to keep your sanity until the weather outside warms up.
