Toddler activities?

edited September 2013 in May 2012 Moms
What is everyone doing for fun activities with their little ones now? I have DD who is 15 months and I babysit another little girl who is 14 months two days a week. I feel like we are in a rut. We play blocks, read stories, and sing songs. we watch a baby Einstein video or two and sometimes we colour. I have a bike trailer so I sometimes take the girls to the park to play on the swings or just go for a bike ride but I'm low on inspiration for indoor activities. What are you ladies doing with your littles?

    Most of the local libraries have free story time. We do that once a week and sometimes twice if I'm bored. Bubbles in the backyard is usually good entertainment for awhile too.

    DD is obsessed with being outdoors so it's hard to keep her entertained inside. She does love playing with her little people farm and little people castle and she is pretty content just running around the house for awhile. She hides in DH's shower stall, she hides in the walk in closets and then cracks up when you pop your head in to find her. Maybe start playing modified hide and seek? She also likes to "color" or scribble with crayons as the case may be. Outside, she loves her wagon rides and just running around the yard.

    We've gone to the science center, zoo, parks, hiking. At home he plays on his bike, cozy coupe, water table, chalk, bubbles, balls. Inside we play with cars, big legos, tunnel, tent, kitchen.  I set up a climber in the basement, but I save it for winter time entertainment.

    I have a play kitchen I could bring out for them but no food or anything to go with it. I will have to bring it out and see how she feels about it. I keep forgetting the bubbles!

    I bought this the other week but haven't tried it yet. It's the crayola magic wonder finger paint. It's a clear gel the turns color when it's put on special paper. It's not suppose to discolor anything else other than the paper.

    Instead of just coloring you can cut out big (like kid hand sized) pieces of different color construction paper in different shapes and then squirt some glue (or a glue stick) on a sheet and let them pick and stick.
    Or finger paints.
    Colored Rice sensory tub.
    What about puzzles?  Like the M&D ones?
    I second the play kitchen - DD and DS both play with it now.  
    Legos
    Flashcards
    Puppets or just stuffed animals (and make the sounds)
    Sensory bottles
    Stacking cups
    Water table
    Balls
    Trains
