Need Some New & Fun Ideas

in Toddlers: 12 - 24 Months

Hi All,

My son is 19 months and we have hit a dreadful "bored" phase. I try to get him involved in many different activities throughout the day from coloring, to other crafts, puzzles, blocks, trucks, etc. We live in Alaska and it is still too cold to go outside. Not to mention there is still about 3 1/2 feet of snow on the ground too!

I need some new ideas of what to do with him to spike his interest. He is getting fussy and cranky and turns away from toys. I know he's bored but need to help get him out of this funk!

Thanks!!

    Do you have a garage?

    I live in the dead of the upper Midwest, where there's still snow and it's blizzarding today.

    When winter drags on like this, I pull our cars out and let her ride trike, do sidewalk chalk, hang her swing from the raf

    Do you have a YMCA or rec center nearby with an indoor pool?  Maybe you could swim lessons...or if there's a little gym, my gym, or gymboree...or indoor playground. Maybe the library, or get a DVD of baby exercise or something. Good luck!

    Play doh and Paint (fingers, brushes, anything really) are hits at our house. I build forts / ramps out of couch cushions and DD runs her matchbox cars all over. She has a small ride on toy also indoors.  I made a ball pit with a small plastic wading

    We're also bored to tears here. Our snow is gone, thankfully, but it's rainy and cold and it's just the winter that will.not.end. We also don't leave the house during the week as I do child care. I've been trying hard to get creative and think outside

    I will definitly be trying some of these. We do have an indoor playground and we often go there after dinner to get out some built up energy. My husband and I share a car too so that makes it a little
