Original Indoor Activities For ToddlersThis page has lots of original ideas for indoor activities that your toddler will love.Let's start off with Trap or Tickle... What I really like about Trap or Tickle is that it needs no resources at all.The rest of these activities will need a few bits and pieces, but they are things you'll probably have round the home anyway. All these activities can be done with one or more children. When you have exhausted the joys of playdough, building yet another tower and baking fairy cakes, try any of the ideas below. TunnelMove your sofa away from the wall far enough to make a crawl space - this is your 'tunnel'. Put a chair at either end that your toddler can crawl through. Now drape 1 or 2 sheets over the chairs and stretching along the tunnel's length.
FortDrape a sheet over a table. Take it in turns to hide under the fort and play hide-and-seek. Your toddler will enjoy hiding in the tunnel while you put your feet up and cluelessly announce 'Well, I just don't know where Alice has got to!'Find The Timer
This is simple - hide a kitchen timer that ticks loudly enough to be heard, and your toddler looks for it.Be careful not to make the hiding place too hard - go with your child if you think she might get frustrated by this activity. For younger toddlers, hide the timer in the same room. Housework
Take advantage of how much toddlers love to help out around the home. Ok, it's not like having a domestic PA on hand, but at least this is one of those indoor activities that mean you won't have to do everything when your little one has gone to bed.Ideas:
