Keeping the toddlers busy! Exchanging our favourite ideas for toddler activities and ways we TRY and keep them entertained

05/22/23 • 41 min

Recording just before Nicola’s due date and now baby James is here! Today we wanted to discuss our favourite toddler activities and compare the ways we keep our kids entertained in the hope that we get some inspiration from each other and with any luck we can pass some of that onto you! There’s nothing too out of the ordinary here (aside from Nicola’s epic tip!) but sometimes we all just need a reminder of a few little things that help with keeping the little people entertained...especially when there is a new baby in the mix!

Episode breakdown:

· Nicola’s ‘lazy uterus’ haha

· Jess again with the heart palpitations

· The old stay at home mum drama

· Delving into what activities are our kids love

· Busy books for inside activities

· Nicolas new food tricks for Leo

· Our fav outdoor activities at home and out

· Recycling for toddlers

· Nicolas epic toddler activity idea
