What are some fun ways to keep a toddler busy?

1. If you have a spare box and some colored plastic balls, one idea is to cut holes in the box and color a ring around each hole to match a color of ball. Mount the box and show your little one how to drop each ball into its matching hole. 

2. If you have a spare toothbrush and a yellow dry erase marker, you can work teach some teeth brushing skills in a fun way! Draw a big toothy smile and color in the lips and gums leaving the teeth bright white. Cover it up with clear tape or hard plastic wrap and cut it out.  Color the teeth with the yellow marker and have your little one brush it clean.

3. Teach some valuable life skills and keep your little one entertained by getting a kid-safe knife and having him or her cut fruits.
