Keeping a Toddler Occupied
I recently came up with a new idea to keep my (almost) 3 year old busy while I help her brother with homework after school. She is usually so excited to have him home that she wants to do everything with him, including his homework. At the beginning of the year she was satisfied sitting at the table with a blank sheet and some crayons, but as the year wears on, she demands more of his attention and it makes it difficult for him to focus when she is singing silly songs, dancing on chairs and doing anything else she can to make him laugh and get his approval.
What does a toddler love to look at more than anything? Themselves. What if that image moved right along with them? What if it captured sound?
Here’s my little broken record amusing herself while her brother and I finish homework. You may want to try this with your toddler, it’s definitely worth a good laugh.
