good Entertain Your Toddler
The day to day grind with you toddler at home starts to get old. Need a new idea? I present: Our Abc Jar. Every night they get to pick a letter out of the jar that dictates what the next day's theme will be. We have assigned each letter a dissimilar theme and as such, most all we do that day corresponds with the theme. Before we started we sat down and together came up with fun ideas for each day. That, in and of itself was full of excitement.
Entertain Your Toddler
Some days it isn't much and some it engrosses our whole day but no matter what the anticipation of what the next will bring helps curb the boredom and monotony of our lives and keeps us living each day to the fullest. You can pick how much or how little you want to put into each activity. I've included our list with a few tidbits of ideas next to each one to give you understanding on what you can do.
A- Airplanes
B- building Day (blocks, Legos, and a kit from Home Depot)

D- Dr. Day (we wear our physician scrubs and use our pretend physician kit to treat our stuffed animal patients)
E- Experiments (Sid the Science Kid chapter is watched followed by discrete science experiments you can find on Pbs's website)
