If you’re a mom, like myself, you know just how hard it can be to get a clingy toddler engaged in an activity by themselves. It’s even harder to get anything else done when you have a toddler clinging to you all day. Add on top of that all of the attitude, sass, and wildness that comes with raising a young child, and it’s enough to break someone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That’s where at-home toddler activities come in! These quickly became my go-to when I needed anywhere from five (bathroom break anyone?) to thirty minutes (sending an email!) to take care of something. As time went on, they also became an awesome way to connect with my kid, engage them in meaningful learning, and burn out some of that non-stop energy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a previous teacher, I loved, loved, LOVED lesson planning. Coming up with new, exciting, engaging lessons was one of my absolute favorite parts of my job. Now, as a stay-at-home-mom, I see myself in a similar capacity. While I’m not teaching 30+ students, I get the opportunity to do some really cool deep dives with my own kids into cool activities and subjects that they love. And best of all, it all comes in the form of play.<\/p>\n\n\n
