help, bored toddler

[marley2580]

Kaya's having one of those days where she's bored so is having tantrums left right and centre. I've chucked her out in the back garden for now, but I don't know how long that'll entertain her. I need ideas people, I have no money, no petrol and a baby that wants to be part of anything we do and demands to get up any time my hands are messy lol. Help!

Can you make playdough together? Maybe make puppets out of paper bags or face masks out of a paper plate and let her decorate it. Do you have a stash of old toys hidden away? Sometimes I will bring out my little guys old toys and it's just like Christmas to him lol.

could you try mothers and toddlers groups? I find them great - they have loads of toys and crafts (painting etc) and you usually just pay £1 and you get tea and biscuits and snacks for the kids.

Is there a park near you or an area you can feed the ducks? Katie wants outside all the time and I take her out to the garden whenever it's dry and she loves wheeling her doll in her buggy (and shouting at the dog next door!)
