Fun Summer Time Activities for Toddlers

Toddlers love filling things up and pouring things out! Below are just a couple of great ideas for some water fun that your little one can participate in. I suggest letting them play outside on the grass to save your kitchen floor from getting all wet!

‘Waterfall’: Fill a bucket with some water and give your little one some measuring cups! Simple, FREE, and fun!

‘Sprinklers’: Find a couple of old plastic bottles or margarine tubs and poke some holes in the bottom of them. Show your little one how to fill the cups with water and then watch it sprinkle down.

Toddler Fun Food

Peanut Butter and Banana Spirals
Spread a 6” flour tortilla with peanut butter and top with sliced bananas. You could drizzle the top with a bit of honey, too. Slice into bit size spirals and enjoy. Yum!
