We've been snowed in a lot lately (once a week or more since Christmas), and we are starting to go a bit stir crazy here. DS is 22 months, so too young for board games or most crafts. We've done lots of running around the house and riding his new trike around inside, playing with every car, toy, musical instrument, pot, pan and unsharp kitchen utensil we own, read lots of books, played in DS's playtent, made a fort out of sheets in the dining room (stole that idea from my sister) made homemade pretzels and cookies, played with play doh, used the easel, watched some TV, excessively harassed the poor dog, and just about anything else I can think of. We really can't even play outside today, since this last storm was tons of ice and everything is a slick, ice-crusted mess.
But with being inside so often, we're all starting to climb the walls, and by the end of the day, I find myself putting something on TV because DS is getting so bored and cranky.
If anyone has any other suggestions about how to keep a toddler entertained inside, I'd be eternally grateful!!
