HOW TO entertain a high energy toddler

Obstacle Course: Create an indoor obstacle course using pillows, cushions, and other soft objects. Include activities like crawling under tables, jumping over pillows, and balancing on a line of tape on the floor. This will help develop their gross motor skills while burning off excess energy.

1. Dance Party: Put on some lively music and have a dance party together! Encourage your toddler to move and groove to the music, or follow along with simple dance moves you demonstrate. This is a great way to release energy and have fun together.

2. Sensory Play: Set up a sensory bin filled with materials like rice, dried beans, or colored pasta. Add scoops, cups, and small toys for your toddler to explore and manipulate. Sensory play engages multiple senses and can provide hours of entertainment.

3. Indoor Scavenger Hunt: Create a scavenger hunt by hiding small toys or objects around the house for your toddler to find. Make a list or use picture clues to help them locate each item. This activity encourages exploration and problem-solving skills.

4. DIY Art Projects: Set up a designated art area with supplies like crayons, markers, paint, and paper. Encourage your toddler to get creative and express themselves through art. You can also try different techniques like finger painting, sponge painting, or making collages using recycled materials.
