Occupied Toddler.......Naah

Is it possible to keep toddler sit at one place continously for more than 20-25 minutes.... Sounds really impossible..atleast in my case where my daugther is a butterfly who keeps fluttering here and there and is a complete chatterbox, keeps on talking talking and more talking.. time comes when we really have to ask her keep mum for atleast five minutes, which she clearly refuses to do so..It becomes more difficult to handle the situation on weekends or on holiday as there is no school....The day acircular comes from school or a note in diary that there won't be school tomorrow and my first expression would be WHAAAT NO SCHOOOOOL TOMORROW , OH NOOOO

:D *Giggles* but this actually happens and first thing that come to my mind would be what will we do all the day :(
All stories have been told, all activities have been performed, no more play dough, no more painting ... then what's left.
Here am jotting few of the activities which we dou perform to keep ourself busy and would like more suggestions coming up in form of your valuable comments which can help us both to learn and enjoy more..

Before writing the activities am listing few of the pre-requisities or some pre-arrangements to be done :

•  Look for a place where you can perform these activities, it can be any corner of your house, or kids playroom, or it can be your dining table or any other table you can use for the activities.
• Play mats or some other old mats to be spread around in that corner or table as lot of spilling and mess is expected, better to have some rubber sheets.
• Lots of newspapers in order to cleanup in end and save the mess.
• White sheets could be handy too for painting activities.

Rest would write more when I am reminded off...

Now coming to the activities:
Painting all time favourite: I belive colors is favourite of each and every kid... though they would not end up being picasso but they would love to indulge in this activity and can be messy .. Mind you kids love being messy so let them what they are :)
Painting can be taken up in following ways:

1. Gather non-toxic colors, you can easily find that in stores these days or even can think of making your own herbal colors. Here is a nice article on creating home made colors, made from kitchen ingredients, you can definitly give them try :) Home Made water colors
2. Play mat/ Plastic Sheet/ Rubber Sheet/Newspapers.
3. White Papers to be used for kids for their master piece or pieces :P.
4. Paint brushes.
5. Sponges, Bubblesheet, leaves, bird feathers... In case your little one is tired of using paint brush again and again .. this will be a welcome change for kid.. believe me they can paint with anything including their toe :)

So what are you waiting for, make the little one sit at the pre-designated place and handover all the material, roll action camera .... Little one will be busy for minimum 20 mins, I bet :D

Don't forget to capture the moments in your camera , you will love watching again and again and even sharing with your near ones :) do share with me too...
This reminds me of my own previous post where N had experience with paints and then my hall and sofa was painted and even the walls... So do keep a watch on that too or you will end up looking for some ingredients to remove stains :)
Incase you want to read that instance too here is the link: Painting Experience
Here I promise to come up with more ideas sooner.. may be tomorrow so keep watching till then :)

To be continued...
