Well, this is my last post in my "Stories from Real Mummies" series. The wonderful March Mummies have assisted me to compile our ultimate list of activity ideas for two year olds. There were so many great suggestions, and a few recurring ones - clear winners in our children's eyes!
Art & Craft
Painting
Drawing
Pasting
Stickers
Sensory
Playdough
Sand pit
Kinetic sand (with dump trucks, diggers & duplo)
Physical Activity
Dancing
Ball play (all types of balls) - kicking, bouncing, ten pin bowling, down the slide at the local park.
Bikes & scooters
Rolling, jumping, running down hills
Yoga
Here's a great link to Yoga for kids from Childhood 101.

Coloured blocks

If you missed them, here are my previous three posts in this series.
- Ridiculous (and hilarious) reasons for tantrums
- Managing Toddler Tantrums
- Funny things our two year olds say
And just a final note to any of the March Mummies reading. We really are lucky to be part of such a wonderful online community. Everyone is caring, considerate, respectful, supportive, encouraging and just down right nice. More internet groups and communities should take a leaf out of our book (especially when it comes to raising children!). Thank you all for being part of my parenting journey with Miss M for the past two years. It's been lovely to make some virtual friends (and real life ones too - you know who you are).
Big things behind the scenes at teacher types!
Eeep!
