I'm a Nana and my Grandson has just turned 1.
I'm going to stay for a few days with my family and forgotten a lot of what i used to do with my little ones that was inexpensive lol. I actually have some decorting tape here and never thought to use that as an fun way to play and learn. Lots of great ideas.

Thank you

I watched this video about a month ago and today i needed some activities, and remembered some of these ideas, quickly put them together and thought i need to watch this video again and save it on a playlist. Love the diy nature of the things, coz we tend so easily to just buy the activities, but i want to foster creativity in my little one and believe that showing her we can make things is a good way to model creativity

[allofcece]

I love how all your activities are inexpensive and diy projects.

[katharinaskapur]

Thank you definitely going to try these . I been having mom guilt for not playing with my toddler enough since I just had my newborn. Thank you! 💐🩵

My kids are all grown up, and I still found this REALLY interesting. I like to keep little toys/activities in my purse/car, for when I know that I might run into a hectic mom with a child needing distraction, like at the doctors office, or a restaurant. I am looking forward to doing smaller versions of your ideas. And someday, I WILL have grandkids!(hopefully 😊) Thanks for sharing this with us.

[sheilaeyster]

Great for grandma. I don't have lots of toys at my house but I can easily put these together😁

[Airelda]

This is the best video of its type on YouTube! THANK YOU for so many straightforward, easy to set up and educational activities. This is exactly what I was looking for today!

Love to see mamas doing things with their babies!! My kids never did the rice thing but they LOVED the sandbox, which is a similar experience. And they spent hours with playdough. They really love sensory things.

Thank you for sharing all your fun and creative ideas! I learned so much and can't wait to make these activities for my daughter to enjoy.
