Resting in a Restaurant Time

Toddler ages: 29 months, 29 months, 4 years

Materials you'll need:
-a kid-friendly restaurant

If you're like me, you've had to endure bored, tired, fussy kids while running errands around town. If you're kids are having a melt-down, and you still have to go to the bank, the post office, and the Asian market, why not take a quick break at your local kid-friendly restaurant for some coloring good times?

You don't have to order a meal, just some fries and a fruit dish. While you and your kids are waiting, have them color the coloring menus restaurants have just for kids like yours, and in no time their spirits will be lifted and you will be able to continue your errands...

Sand-throwing Time

Toddler ages: 28 months, 28 months, 4 years

Materials you'll need:
-sand

Just throw sand, but make sure you follow two rules...

1. Don't do it when it's windy.

2. Don't do it within a ten-foot radius of other people.

My kids can spend hours doing this. Have fun!
