Then the sun came out so we splashed in puddles and played with the water hose! Now she's eating crushed ice and watching Elmo lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/boredom-busters#post-2141863 Mon, 13 Apr 2015 09:59:45 +0000 ShootingStar 2141863@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you have a water table or something to make a sensory bin? I was just reading about using them for indoor play with stuff like dried corn/beans/pasta. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/boredom-busters#post-2141805 Mon, 13 Apr 2015 09:17:15 +0000 Ginabean3 2141805@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I let her go through kitchen drawers (the safe ones like Tupperware drawer...placemat/dishcloth drawer). </p> <p>Bath time is always fun for us too. She can spend hours in there I feel like!</p> <p>She also likes to "help" with laundry....takes me twice as long, but entertains her and is teaching a life skill? Sorta? :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/boredom-busters#post-2141754 Mon, 13 Apr 2015 08:40:51 +0000 My Only Sunshine 2141754@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Sunshine: We do LONG baths on cabin fever days! Bust out all the toys and let LO play in there until her fingers are prune-y. The bathtub is also a great place to blow bubbles indoors. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/boredom-busters#post-2141747 Mon, 13 Apr 2015 08:37:25 +0000 MamaBehr 2141747@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Painting<br /> Shaving cream<br /> Baking soda and water (which, when it's nice out you can add more water than baking soda and make sidewalk paint)<br /> Make a tent/fort<br /> Make cookies </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/boredom-busters#post-2141734 Mon, 13 Apr 2015 08:33:29 +0000 fancyfunction 2141734@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We like to play with stickers (M has her own sticker book that entertains her for a bit), bubbles are a big hit as well as reading books, dance parties and the occasional clip of Elmo ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/boredom-busters#post-2141717 Mon, 13 Apr 2015 08:24:05 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 2141717@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What are your go to at home activities? It's been raining for 3 days now. I'll be out most of the morning tomorrow so I really need to stay home today so I can get some things done during nap but LO and I are a little stir crazy. She received some play dough for Easter that we may play with and I'm sure we'll try to color for a little bit but I have a feeling that will take 30 minutes tops. (She's 19 months). Share your boredom busters! </p>
