Indoor Obstacle Course

Why not turn your living room into an adventure zone? Use soft cushions, pillows, and blankets to create a safe and exciting obstacle course for your toddler. This will not only burn off energy but also improve motor skills and coordination.

Why it’s great: It’s a fun way for kids to move around while staying indoors. Plus, it’s easy to create with things you already have at home!

Playtime with Tidy Sleep’s Play Gym

For babies, a play gym is a perfect way to keep them entertained while boosting their development.

Building Blocks and Stacking Games

Why it’s great: It’s a quiet, calming activity that keeps your kids engaged while also fostering creativity and motor development.

Arts and Crafts Time

Why it’s great: Arts and crafts help with fine motor skills and allow your child to express themselves creatively.

Storytime or Puppet Show
