Feeling stuck on what to do with your toddler besides turning on another episode of their favorite show? You’re in the right place.
When my oldest was 2 and I had a newborn in my arms, I leaned into screen time hard. And honestly? It helped me survive those long days. But I started noticing that I was turning on the TV even when I didn’t need to, out of habit more than necessity.
That’s when I began putting together easy, low-effort activities that didn’t require fancy supplies or a ton of prep, but kept my toddler engaged (and gave me a few quiet minutes). That’s how the “Toddler mom trying to do less screen time…” series was born.
This page is your go-to hub for all of those activities, organized and ready for when you need something simple that still feels like a win. Scroll down to find every toddler activity I’ve shared so far!
