- Jello – Homemade jello is easy to make and fun to play with for toddlers! And it’s safe to eat.
Balloon Games
Balloons are a cheap toy that comes with a variety of games to play. You can make up your own or use the ideas below!
- Don’t let the balloon touch the ground. Your toddler will get rid of a lot of their energy with this game! Challenge your toddler to keep hitting a balloon upward to keep it from hitting the ground.
- Balance the balloon. This is an easy and fun game for your kids. They can try to keep a balloon on the back of their hand without it falling.
- Blow the balloon. You can set up a course in your home and challenge your toddler to blow the balloon through the system!
