water play.

Water play.

Water play is one of the best activities in my opinion to keep your toddler busy and engaged.  We have a sand and water table outside, my kids love bath time, and water painting on the porch is one of their favorite past times. Lyla also loves bowls of water, cups, measuring spoons, anything to fill or pour, and characters. Sometimes I even give her a little soapy water to "wash" her princesses in and a towel to "dry" them off. This idea is simple, fun, and free.

Note: While I am sure I don't have to remind you...I am going to anyways...please never leave children unattended with water activities.
