It has been a struggle for me to find really engaging activities to do with my little Sweet Pea. She likes coloring and play-doh, but we can both only do that for so long every day before growing bored. I wanted to find more structured activities that were fun and appropriately challenging for her. Searching the internet for stuff to do with toddlers, I found this great blog called 1+1+1=1 written by Carisa. She describes something called “Tot School” using “Tot Trays” to provide fun things for toddlers to do. After an hour browsing her site, my head is full of new ideas to use with Sweet Pea. I am going to try to document our “Tot School” activities here to keep track of what works and what doesn’t and hopefully to give other moms some good ideas for their toddlers.
This is great. How old was sweet pea when you started doing this with her last year?
I don’t remember exactly, but I think she was about 22 months when I started.
