- I took a look in the Toys and Games FAQ, but I didn't see anything
- about this, so...
-
- I'm looking for ideas of indoor activities that I can do with my 15
- month old and 3 1/2 year old daughters. I'm looking for activities
- that the 15 month old can participate in (i.e. no small parts), but
- will still be of interest to my 3 yr old.
-
- The kids play pretty independently with their toys during the day, and
- I want to gather an arsenal of ideas for ~5-15 minute activities that
- I can do WITH them in the evening.
-
- Here are some things we have done already:
- blowing bubbles (I can't believe my 15m old can do this, but she can!)
- science experiments (from the recent postings on misc.kids)
- coloring with crayons
- dancing/movement with music
- water play (in a small basin)
-
- Activities from 2yr or 3yr birthday parties would probably work well.
- I'll summarize any email messages that I receive. Many thanks in
- advance.
