Simple Sillies 15-18 Months

Keep It Simple, Silly!

Here are some very simple ways I found to let my son explore his world from 15-18 months.


1)  Window clings.  $1 for loads of adjustable, removable fun.

2)  Add some food coloring to cool whip for cool fun.  This is perfect for the summer days in OK with 100+ degrees.

3)  Squishy paint pad.  This is a common idea (squirt paint in baggie and tape down).  But, instead of using a little bit of paint for drawing on, use more to make a squishy pad for walking on.  LM didn't understand using his hands but got a kick out of walking on it.


 4)  Balloon Corner!  I blew up 20 balloons during nap time and piled them in a corner.  Wow, did Little Man go wild for this!  Most of the balloons stayed inflated for close to 2 weeks.

5)  Window crayons.  They're non-toxic, washable and lots of fun.  My guy likes these better than regular crayons.  I pull out our bedroom mirror and we color.

6)  Sidewalk chalk.  This is a great age for sidewalk chalk.

7)  Pool noodles.  They cost $1 at the Dollar Tree, are made in America and are loved by toddlers.  I had no idea he would like them so much.  We both found fun ways to play.
