Purely from a professional stand point… all of these but about 3 are choking hazards for the age of the child shown in the pictures. I only post this as a caution to parents. A good rule of thumb is …if it can fit into a toilet paper tube …it is a choking hazard and should not be used for children under 5.

I hope this helps

What fun activities for little ones. i love the craft foam in a bowl idea, the silk scarf and the orange in a tray activity. I am wondering where you would get a whole bunch of corks like that.
I would love if you could stop by and share on Toddler Idea Tuesday!

In reply to Judy. What rubber band game are you talking about, Judy?

I watch my cousin s son who is 13 months old and he would love all but the rubberband game. At this time he is putting too much in his mouth. I will keep that for late .
Thanks for all your help, Judy

This is a wonderful list of activities for little ones! I especially like the paint swatch and pringle can activity – so simple, creative, and fun. I am definitely pinning this!

My son, who is 20 months, loves painting with water!

In reply to Marla. Hi Maria, follow your child's lead. Very young children will show an interest in putting objects in and out of a basket or bowl. In the photos in this post, the baby is just over 12 months, but as long as there's no risk of choking, you can certainly start younger than that.

What age are these activities good for? I’m a new mother, and i don’t really know when they should be able to do any of this stuff. Thanks!

In reply to An'e. That's great, An'e! I really have to make a geo-board for the hooligans.

Great ideas, so simple, but the sort of stuff I can never think up on my own. I’m off to email the link to my sister, she’s just started doing lots of play with her first and I know these will spur her on.

I am amazed at how much fun my 2-yr old has with a geoboard and some rubber bands…he is a young 2 (26m) but the challenge of securing those bands and making designs keeps him absorbed for nearly 20 min at a time.
