Activities for Toddlers
Toddlers need to stay active and stimulated. And like grownups, they also need down time. Unstructured time can spark creativity — and provide wonderful opportunities for family bonding. Babble takes a look at the developmental benefits of exercise, discusses how much TV is okay and why, and also offers suggested activities to beat the summer heat, fight cabin fever, or just have a little fun. So get out in the garden or whip up something amazing in the kitchen. And don’t be afraid to get dirty — that’s par for the course and part of the fun; cleaning up can be a fun activity to tackle together, too!

I guess refering to herself as “mum” in her profile should have been a tip- off. That’s one of the things that’s so cool about MORE »

I knew my husband was going to want our son to play golf. After all, he grew up on the course with his own father, spending every waking moment with a club in his hand. He said that one of his greatest moments in life was the first time he beat his dad in a MORE »

8 Toddler Extracurricular Activities
