15 indoor activities for toddlers

This week the rain has decided to grace its presence and our toddlers are stuck, bored inside the house. Amy from The Grace factory and I were discussing what we can do with our toddlers on days like these. Both our girls love outdoors and being stuck inside can become very boring for them. So I decided to research and come up with my favorite indoor activities for toddlers. Please make sure there is someone with your toddler during these activities. Not advised to leave them alone.

My Top 15 indoor activities for Toddlers

Please note they are in no particular order.

1. Fun with Tape

Collect a few kinds of colorful plastic tape, masking tape, double-sided tape, and so on. Cut long pieces of the tape and give your toddler. You will me amazed at what they try to do with the tape. Kitana loves sticking it on her forehead. 🙂

2. Colouring

Kitana loves drawing with a pen and colouring. This is a great activity to start teaching them colors. I attached some colouring pages which you can download to print.

3. Playdough

4. Fun with flour

I do this all the time with Kitana. I give her some flour, jelly, rice and pasta or whatever I feel like in old plastic containers. I let her do whatever she wants with them. Its messy but keeps her occupied for a while.

5. Sponge play

Fill one bowl with water and add a few drops of food coloring to make it exciting.
Show your toddler how to place the sponge in the bowl of water, then transfer the water to the empty bowl by squeezing the sponge.

6. Bottles and Lids

Give your toddler various different sizes of bottles and lids (plastic) and let him/her try putting them back on in the right bottle. Your toddler will have lots of fun matching lids to bottles, putting the lids on, taking the lids off, and starting all over again.

7.Jelly fun 

I found this idea on babble and a YouTube mom did this. When you freezing jelly, add some plastic toys and give it to your toddler. They will have fun trying to take it out. You can even add marshmallows.

8. Ripping Magazines

If you want to recycle and get all those paper together, maybe your toddler can help or NOT. Haha! Give them an old magazine and let them rip it apart. Its crazy fun for them.

9. Stacking cups

I bought a set for Kitana and she loves it, Let them stack the cups and put it in order.

Put different coloured items in bottles and glue it. When your toddler shakes the bottle, they will see different items and at the same time create music.

11. Toddler Paint

Let your toddler paint, you can use toilet roll holders, cotton wool or potato to be creative.

 12. Hide and Seek 

This is one of Kitana’s favorite games. Its simple and they love it when they finally find you.

13.  Scooping Pom Poms

Fill a large bowl with pom poms, place your scoops and ice cube tray nearby and invite your toddler to play!

14. Play ball

Kitana has a ball pool which she uses now and then. Recently I started teaching how to kick and throw the ball. We use our tummy tub as a goal post.

15. Puzzles

I love teaching Kitana with puzzles and blocks.

  4. we’ve done a lot of these with Kivi, a few months back we used to make a point of doing “crafts ” on Saturday while Thavina slept. These days its a bit more difficult. Love the stick them in a pool and let the play idea, definitely something i will try out!!!

  5. Such great ideas. I love how you have used so many everyday items – kids tend to gravitate to real objects (that mom and dad play with) rather than toys 🙂

  26. Copper scrap resource recovery Copper is an essential component in the transition to renewable energy, as well as in the growth of electric vehicles, and the global demand for copper is expected to continue to rise rapidly in the coming years. However, there are growing concerns that there will be a significant supply gap in the availability of copper in the near future, potentially short-circuiting the energy transition. Currently, copper is widely used in the infrastructure needed for renewable energy, including wind turbines, solar panels, and energy storage systems. The International Energy Agency (IEA) predicts that renewable energy will account for 30% of global electricity generation by 2024, and by 2050, it could potentially account for three-quarters of all electricity generation. This represents a significant opportunity for copper producers, as more copper will be needed to build the necessary infrastructure. Similarly, the electric vehicle market is experiencing explosive growth, with copper being a key component in the production of electric motors and other components. The IEA predicts that by 2030, 125 million electric vehicles will be on the roads, which will require an estimated 3.1 million tonnes of copper each year. Unfortunately, there is a risk that this growing demand will outstrip supply. Mines operating today are aging, and new discoveries are becoming less and less common. The major copper mining companies have reported a decline in copper ore grades, and production has plateaued in the last few years, failing to keep up with demand growth. In addition, the copper mining industry is grappling with issues around environmental impact and potential social conflict, as many mining operations are located in areas with sensitive ecosystems or indigenous communities. These challenges mean that it can take years for new mines to get permitted and up and running. The combination of these factors has led to forecasts predicting that there could be a significant copper supply gap in the near future. This could lead to price spikes, which would make renewable energy and electric vehicles less affordable. It could also delay the transition away from fossil fuels, as it would become more expensive to build the necessary infrastructure. To address these issues, the copper industry will need to invest in new exploration and mining projects, accelerate innovation in copper production technology, and focus on improving the sustainability of copper mining. Governments and policymakers also have a role to play, by ensuring that regulations and policies incentivize investment in the copper sector, while also addressing environmental and social concerns. In conclusion, copper is a critical component in the transition to renewable energy and the growth of electric vehicles. However, the looming supply gap in copper could potentially short-circuit the energy transition, making it more expensive and difficult to achieve. To avoid this outcome, the copper industry must invest in new mines and technology, while also addressing environmental and social concerns Metal reusing services Copper scrap price fluctuations Industrial copper reuse Copper scrap inventory tracking Scrap copper melting Metal scrap yard management

  28. Scrap copper processing Copper is widely used as a conductor of electricity for various reasons. One of the main reasons is its ability to conduct electricity efficiently. Copper has a high electrical conductivity, which means that it can carry electricity with minimum resistance. This is important because when electricity flows through a wire, it encounters resistance which results in energy losses in the form of heat. Copper’s high conductivity helps minimize such losses, making it an ideal choice for electrical wire. In addition, copper is also a ductile metal, which means it can be easily drawn into thin wires without breaking. This property makes it possible to manufacture fine electrical wires that can be used to connect various devices with high precision. Moreover, copper has excellent thermal conductivity, which means that it can conduct heat efficiently. This makes it possible to cool down electrical wires, motors, and other electrical components effectively, preventing them from getting overheated. Copper is also a very reliable metal, and it doesn’t corrode easily, making it an excellent choice for electrical wiring that needs to last for a long time. It is also a highly durable metal that can withstand harsh weather conditions, extreme temperatures, and other environmental factors that could damage electrical wires. Overall, copper is widely used as a conductor of electricity due to its high conductivity, ductility, low resistance, efficient heat dissipation, durability, and reliability. These properties make it an ideal choice for various electrical applications such as power transmission, electrical wiring, electronics, and many more Metal transport services Copper scrap contamination control Copper scrap smelting Copper scrap environmental certifications Scrap copper purity standards Scrap metal price volatility
