30 Toddler/Preschool Activities! How to Keep 1-4 Year Olds Entertained At Home

[@AddieDwyer]

Hey guys 😃 I hope this video helps some of you out and gives you lots of good activities to keep your little one entertained!

[@moodyncamerashy119]

You did that! I want to give 5 more thumbs up.

[@dilahsadja6387]

Thank you so much... i seaeching some idea actvts for my boy, found this. Great ideaaa...

[@kristianakrista]

How old is she? So many great ideas!

[@osoblizz7937]

I'm late to your channel but so glad and happy I found it. My question is, do you incorporate rewards at the end of the task? My son will dump the rice grab puzzle pieces zip through that and off to the next thing. Would you recommend "rewards" afterwards?

[@saimabinthkm9818]

Ofcourse dear

[@IndiLove27]

Thank you so much for making these videos. I got surprised with 2 babies under 2. I never really knew if I wanted to be a mom or not then bam I got two back to back. I’ve lived a very hard life of physical, sexual, and mental abuse/ trauma since I was two years old. So I never knew if I wanted children because of my own issues and I honestly don’t know how to mother children let alone babies. It’s been a huge journey and learning process for me. I just learned that my toddlers issues are coming from screen time. Unfortunately with me not having the just basic information on raising children they have been in front of a screen their whole life. Now it has only been educational things. So my almost 3yr old started reading at 1yr old, can count almost up to 100, knows some Spanish, and just basically knows everything already a kindergarten if not first grader would know, he’s also almost writing. His sister almost 2 speaks a large vocabulary can read some and count already, knows her colors and animals… but I started noticing my children NEVER sleep properly. They are consistently getting up through out the night and have VERY short nap times. Their tantrums are very long and extremely heightened, and they can’t really make eye contact or hold little conversations or communicate with me like other children, and aren’t ready for potty training. I’ve learned this is because of the screen time they get. I feel absolutely terrible. But they are SO young I can reverse this and help them get where they need to be. Videos like this are helping me SO much with coming up with exciting, creative ideas to get my kids off the screen and have fun, interactive playtime that benefits them wholly. It also helps me. With all the trauma I’ve been through it’s been very hard to connect with my children in a way that allows me also to feel comfortable. Between your video and 3 others I already have about 33 ideas I am going to implement. It’ll take about 4-6weeks slowly detoxing my toddlers from the screen, but I know we are all going to enjoy the activities and connection that’s about to come. Thank you so much for making a difference in our lives!! 😭🥰❤️🙌🏻

[@AddieDwyer]

and also - being a parent is so hard and challenging in so many ways. You are doing awesome!!

[@susanac.9800]

[@SevenInAll]

We haven't been able to leave the house in a month+...and water play is the best thing ever! She's so cute dropping the different toys into water! The pushpins and styrofoam activity, we've never done that but I know my toddler would love it! You are such a fun and creative mom!

[@AddieDwyer]

YES!! Water play is such a game changer! I wish it was nice outside so that we could do it more here!

[@gillymac9363]
