As summer is coming closer to an end, days are getting shorter and much more cooler days are just around the corner. For many of us that means more time in the house. It’s time to get creative! I decided before it gets too yucky out, I would put together some ideas of some creative indoor activities to try out for this winter.  They all look very easy and fun!!
1.Moon Sand
Using two ingredients, you can whip this up in minutes. This one’s a messy play, but will sure keep them engaged. Well worth the clean up.

2.Bath Art Station
Messy play is fun for toddlers. For parents, not so much. Confine the mess to the bath and everyone’s a winner.

I m always looking for new things to do with my kids.
Love the bathtub art station and the ring toss activities. I’ve done the coloring inside a box thing before and it was a hit!
That’s awesome! That coloring inside the box is a favorite with my kiddos too!
I love creative ideas like these!
Glad you enjoyed!
I really love all of these ideas! A few of them were go to’s for me when my son was little. But, the sticky spider web and the ball toss sound like they would be an easy and fun way to keep him and his sister entertained. I’m going to test them out soon, for sure!
So glad you were able to find a few of these ideas useful!
These are some great ideas! I definitely want to try the bathtub art station. I love doing art with my son, but hate the messy cleanup afterwards!
That’s one of my favorites! Art is fun, it’s the cleaning up after that is not-so-great. Glad you’ll be enjoying doing more art with your son 🙂
These are such great ideas! I’ve babysat for many toddlers and I’m always amazed at how the littlest or simplest things entertain them for hours. 🙂

It sure is amazing that it’s usually the simplest things that we have rolling around the house that keeps kids entertained!
I remember hopscotch from when I was a kid -probably would make a lot of noise in my apartment 🙂
Hopscotch was my favorite haha
