Toddlers & Preschoolers love to hang out in the open. What can you do to make it busy? You do not have a large garden have your small children to entertain.
Some resources for your outdoor area includes, balls, bubble mix and water pipes, sturdy cars and trucks to press little ride on toys, doll stroller or trolley block, this keeps them moving and active. Stepping stones out of cardboard forms. Pavement chalk, drawing roads to drive for good thatBike along.
Sandbox - how many of you remember the fun at the trench and building with sand. A sandbox designed not to be structure to a great architect. Most toy stores / chain stores sell sand boxes.If cover near a small terrace or balcony, or if you want to keep the sand is clean and limited. you should use a plastic tub with lid on wheels, in stores and household goods stores can be found. Enter utensils for digging, sifting, pouring and building.Shovels and spades, or RAID the kitchen for plastic or wooden spoons, bowls, strainers, funnels, yogurt cups, or whatever captures your imagination.
Water play - for the warm spring and summer days, a plastic wading pool, a plastic tub, or that grow out of baby bath (always supervise water play), use utensils sandbox and add your some plastic bottles for casting. one or two drops of blue or green food coloring gives the water a certain interest, especially if they raise theirHands on and off. Drop some ice cubes or hot days and let it melt they see. Of course, nothing lost walking to and from a hose / sprinkler (water restrictions allowed)
Discover your neighborhood - Plants Take a walk along your street, look at the houses, trees, and talk about it. Collect leaves and twigs for collage. Visit the park, use the equipment on the playground. Take a picnic lunch, or dinner. Visit your local shops looking in the windows at whathappened to buy some fruit, cheese and bread for a picnic. Go to your local library and choose some books. If the weather is cold, warm carpet up and go for a run around the yard, go for a walk through the neighborhood and collect some leaves for a craft activity on your return. If you are in a very cold climate to build a snowman to life, throw snowballs. Living in the southern hemisphere, it is hard for me to imagine the very cold days, if you cannot 'get out. Our children do not have many dayswhere they have to be inside.
Take the inside out - from the indoor-outdoor activities, a rug, some pillows and a basket of books under a shady tree or on a porch or balcony can Bring (very relaxing for mother and infant when he is asleep otherwise read your book / magazine) Set up a pretend tea party with dolls tea set and some water into the teapot and jug, and perhaps a few tiny cookies. Grab a snack and outside your child to join in a real teaParty.
Craft activities - The outdoors is the best place for messy craft as it is easy to clean. Put some large sheets of paper on the wall or fence and let them paint with non-toxic paints and brushes robust. Collect a few large boxes and let them paint. If you or a friend has a great device to keep the box had delivered. Let your children paint, when dry it is cut a door and window, and you have an instant play house,Alternatively make a large blanket or sheet over your outdoor table, an instant playhouse. Make up some playdough and use cookie cutters, small rolling pins, plastic utensils, and they are busy forever. Enter buckets of water and brush and had them remove the house or fence. This is particularly effective when it is hot, the water dries very quickly.
Music and Movement - throw out a portable CD player and play a few songs for children or yourFavorite rock or rap songs. Give waving scarves, how to dance to the music. If you try two or three children, a conga line around the yard. Pretend music be ballerina dancing on the good) children's love of all types of music (Swan Lake, Nutcracker is it, when I regularly took part in play group a few years ago we days declared no children music and played show tunes, 60's 70's Rock and many other styles have been the old rock songs a big favorite.
