What games do you do with your toddler?Are there other things you enjoy doing with them?

My almost 3 year old gets bored with me sometimes and I’m wondering if other parents have this problem?! I play play-doh, video games, hideseek, toys, cars, coloring, reading, puzzels,play on the computer on noggin or nickjr, play with electronic memory match toys… he does enjoy tv shows too, but educational like blues clues, diego, wonder pets, backyardigans, etc..
we’ll go outside and he’ll ride his bike, play in the sandbox, recently go in the pool, play with his ball, water plants, swing, play baseball, hulahoop, frisbie and jump on the trampoline with me..
I just dont have any NEW/DIFFERENT ideas.. What do you and your toddler do during the day at home?Is there something he/she likes the most?Is there something you enjoy the most? Are there any activities that you would recommend the most? Why?
well I let my son choose if he wants to play with me or not..and sometimes he likes to pretend..but Im more just curious at what other parents do with their kids vs me ..I dont really know anyone else with kids the same age as my son …this is more like a survey and suggestion question..then a i need help question..
My son will be 3 years old July 9th

Give Your Baby a Headstart
My boys absolutely love cooking. We make cakes together and it teaches them to take turns. We each have a go with the beater (with my assistance of course) and we all get 10 rotations around the bowl. I make them count their rotations with me. The best part is taste testing the batter!!! If you search on google their are some great projects for kids craft. At the moment we are making personalised cookie bags as gifts for relatives to put our home made cookies into.

The Coolest Educational Toy
Kids are going to get bored with us parents. It happens. Its important to let them be them. So let your child show you what he/she want to do. Ask if they want you to play with them or just to watch. My son used to play with his mega blocks while I read to him. My daughter liked to help cook. She loved be able to pour things into bowls like she was measuring them. It all depends on the child. Don’t worry about the mess–just let your child explore.
Good luck!

I have a 2 year old boy (he will be 3 in July) and he enjoys painting…I bought a little tykes easel and tape different coloring book pages or construction paper to it and let him paint a different color every day..we have color days, letter days and number days where we focus on a certain thing as the theme of the day..kind of like seaseme street does, we play I spy and memory card games, dress up is also fun at this age, he thinks its funny to dress in his daddy’s clothes and shoes, when its raining outside and we can’t play, I fill the bathtub up with bubble bath and we get in our swimsuits,I put his dinosaur figures at the bottom of the tub,get his swimming goggles and we go dinodiving I

It sounds like you have a lot of great activities, but I know they can get boring after a while. You said you do not know really anyone with kids, well you could always join MyGym or Gymboree or a mommy and me class in your area. Or you can also look into activities that are going on in your area, like every Thursday at our mall there is Story Time for kids and we have met a lot of friends that way.

My son also gets bored easily, so every day I find him a new activity to do. When I find one he really loves, we put them on the list of things to do again. I find all of my ideas from the website: . All of their activities are sorted out by holiday, child’s age, season, etc. Remember, the most important thing is to have fun. If you are having fun then your son probably will to!
