10 Activities to Entertain a Toddler for (At Least!) 10 Minutes

Yes, it can be done!

 

Need a break, Mama? Whether you need a few minutes to fold the laundry or just time to sit down and relax, these 10 activities—tested in the trenches—should offer you a little breather. (Well, at least 10 minutes!)

1. Sorting Machine

Toddlers love to sort things. From dolls to blocks to crayons, they group items by size or color. For a toddler who enjoys organizing (and we're not talking about your closet, Mom), secure her in a high chair and provide a few handfuls of Fruit Loops and a muffin pan. With a little direction, she'll sort the cereal by color into the muffin tin cups. Or how about sorting veggies? Some may wind up in her mouth as a healthy snack. Genius!
