[quote=Anonymous]Muffin tin volcanos. I put the food coloring in, they get a bowl of baking soda to add (with measuring spoon to scoop. They get vinegar to add in. To help with cleanup put it all on a baking sheet.

Washing their dishes or bath toys at the kitchen sink. Letting them go to town unless they pour water on the floor intentionally.

Peeling hard boiled eggs - daycare recommend this one, it was a surprise hit

Lint rollers.. don't know why kid is obsessed

Washing cabinets with me, other chores (this depends on my patience level)

Putting them + crayons/washable markers in a large cardboard box, ignoring what they do as long as they stay in the box.

There is a square dance recording of the Sandra Boyton book barnyard dance. Great for wiggles/dancing.

+1 on the toddler caterpillar tunnel

We bought a balance board that is heavily used for balancing and toy cars

Pillow forts

Pretending to be cats

Somewhat scary but thrilling for the kid - we introduced scissors early and plastic knives. He helps cut up soft food, and tries to cut paper

Working on not coming every time kid asks for me/for help. Letting him know when I'll be back/able to help. We bought a visual timer that helped with this.

I've been following the workspace for children and busy toddler. Workspace helps remind me to try not to interrupt ongoing play, busy toddler has helpful indoor ideas.

Good luck
