1. Books: "Moo like a cow"
2. Park Play time (interacting with kids)
I am so thankful for parks. Oh what would I do without you? Riley loves them-the swings, the wood chips, the kids, the slides, the wood chips, the sidewalk, the wood chips. Yes parks are the best, we are there a lot + a great way to meet other people. Win win
3. Mom play groups (interacting with kids)
Meetup.com. How I found this site I am not even sure, but it was divine indeed. Riley was about 8 months old when I really started to get serious about finding Mom groups. Within just a couple of days I found 2 groups in my town and signed up! The two groups have since merged into one and we are going strong with 6 consistent member and 6 babes! I am so thankful for these ladies :)
4. Interactive Workout with music
I will say with great honesty that this doesn't happen enough-but when it does I am always amazed at how entertained Riley is. I have some TRX straps and some workout balls in Riley's play room so I have worked out while she was playing a few times- which turned into her just laughing at me as I jumped around. This always turns into me running after her, and all sorts of other crazy things which result in an epic sweaty workout!
5. Sensory Boards
This little gem I found on Pinterest and made my own! Yay for actually doing something I pinned! I made this for her first birthday and is has reaped some good wholesome benefits. Sensory boards are great from 5 months to 4 years of age. There are so many gadgets and gizmo's you can attach that will keep your child highly entertained for- well I was going to say hours; but lets be real here. I would say about 20 minutes. :)
What ways do you engage your toddler? What kinds of activities will you do with future children?
