Hi again! I don’t know how that whole trackback thing works, but I referred this link to “Married to the Military” on this post:http://married2military.blogspot.com/2009/12/still-alive.html

I take a big container (like a laundry basket) and fill with shredded paper where you can hide things (like plastic animals). Lentils make an excellent in house substitute for sand.

I have a roll of butcher paper that I tear parts off and cut out shapes. My 2 year old then colors on it and puts stickers on there, we love stickers. Sometimes I draw roads and he can drive his cars on it. .-= Emily´s last blog ..We've been busy =-.

Oh, and another suggestion–make a costume box if you don’t already have one. Get a big plastic tub and gradually fill it with old Halloween costumes, costume jewelery, some old adult clothes, hats, and any random costumes you can find at second-hand stores. Ours is growing quickly before our very eyes, and Emilia absolutely loves pulling it out with her friends (or alone) and playing make-believe.

Dancing. We dance to the radio. Fast songs, slow songs, commercials. We dance like fools. While it doesn’t necessarily work every time, it is a great group activity.

Yes, we sell those gyms and they become pretty popular in Canada and US. During those long winters our gyms help kids to keep in shape. See some funny videos from our site http://homegymforkids.com/video . Our kids shows exercises on different tools. Is anybody here already have some indoor equipment for kids? Tell us more about them…

I am not sure why is that not more popular in the US. This is the only place that I found that would ship this to the US, and I am planning on getting something similar for my almost two year old twins.
http://www.homegymforkids.com/ I think it is a little pricy, so may be my hubby can make something like this (not sure about this though) http://kidsdreamgym.com/indoor_jungle_gym.html

Why is this not more popular in the areas where the outside parks are only for 3-4 month of the year is beyond me. ( we live in Minnesota)

I just picked up the book First Art Art Experiences for Toddlers and Twos by MaryAnn F. Kohl. So far the actives have been a hit for my Aug 07 little one. I’ve been putting material out during nap. After a snack she is ready to go. It is really open-ended so it is not like I have to sit and help with a final project. Might want to check it out!

Play-Doh is a must. And butcher paper makes coloring much more fun. They can draw a picture together, side by side on the same paper, or you can trace their bodies on it and have them color themselves. Dance party is fun too; turn off the lights and let one have a flashlight to shine on the other while he/she dances, then switch. And we're just starting to try out the computer; pbskids.org has some great learning games with all the characters they love. Good luck! .-= Tara´s last blog ..Happy Halloween! =-.

I was gonna offer up my house too (As long as you bring no SWINE ) Wednesdays and Fridays are days that my nanny leaves early, so we’re always looking for things to do too. Logan would love to have others his own age around!

Another thing that came to mind when I saw Daniel’s forts…do you have those big letter/number puzzle mats? we make castles and boats and tractors out of those – it’s just different enough from the couch cushions so they don’t equate the two, but still as much fun I posted some pictures about a year ago here.
