Here are some tips for keeping toddlers entertained during gatherings:
-
Provide age-appropriate toys: Bring a selection of toys and games that are appropriate for toddlers, such as blocks, puzzles, dolls, and stuffed animals (Moluk toys are great for this by the way!). This will give them something to do and keep them engaged.
-
Set up a play area: Designate a space for the toddlers to play, such as a corner of the room or a separate room. This will give them a designated space to play and helps create boundaries, especially in a crowded house!
-
Plan activities: Plan activities that are specifically for the toddlers, such as a craft project or a simple game. This will give them something to do and help keep them engaged.
-
Supervise: It's important to keep a close eye on the toddlers to make sure they are safe and not getting into any trouble. Consider having one or two adults specifically responsible for watching the toddlers and engaging with them.
-
Take breaks: Toddlers have short attention spans and may need breaks from the gathering. Consider setting aside some quiet time for naps or quiet activities to give them a chance to recharge.
