Keep 'Em Busy! 11 Fun-Filled Activities for Toddlers

Somewhat Simple

Mini Piatas

From: Somewhat Simple
Why We Love It: This activity is perfect for a group of children, but can also be fun to do one on one. From monsters to pirates and even to self-portraits -- we love the adorable ideas kids come up with!
What You’ll Need: Two paper lunch bags, tissue paper, pompoms, crayons, construction paper, scissors, glue and (of course!) some candy
How to Do It: Put two lunch bags inside each other so that the bag can stand up on its own. Then let your toddler go on a decorating frenzy! Once your toddler is finished decorating, stuff the inside of the paper bag with some tissue paper and a handful of candy. Staple the top shut and punch a hole in the top. Attach some rope and watch your little one swing away!
