SAHM of toddlers
What do you do with your children all day. I feel like I am running out of things to do. I am on a bit of a budget at the moment as well.

Re: SAHM of toddlers
We go for walks- either in her stroller or her new Radio Flyer Wagon
I play with her alot on the floor with her own toys. (which is getting challenging now that i am almost 36 weeks pg.)
we play hide and seek in the house
I take her outside to run around and kick a ball.
I have no car, so I constantly trying to find things for us to do without transportation!
DD is a bit over a year old, so we are limited, but I can't wait to break out some paints, finger paints, crafts..

Re: SAHM of toddlers
I don't think I do anything special. The average day consists of some TV time, some play time with me and some without me. We usually have a bunch of errands to run and she loves going to the store. I try and do one special, fun thing with her everyday. Sometimes that means going to the playground or the pool. Sometimes I go to the dollar store and see if they have a cool puzzle or art project. It is inexpensive and she loves it.

Hey. My daughter is 3. I go to Michaels Arts & Crafts 1 every 2 weeks, spend $20 or less, and buy those foam stickers to stick on to foam sun visor or purse. All different themes. Or i buy a simple paint set or a project.
Coloring books & crayons
Dress up clothes, & favorite toys laid out so she can choose.
tv time.
walks, go to park... run errands...
new movie
play dates.
not too much more to say~

Re: SAHM of toddlers
We play all day long. He loves all his toys so we play together and separately. We spend a lot of time outdoors - either in the yard or at the park on my block. Pretty much that's my life!

Re: SAHM of toddlers
Finger paint and playdo (outside of course)
We go to the library a lot. He thinks he is "buying" new shows there and we come home with every Thomas dvd and book in the place. Also story time at the library.
Check the libraries for summer programs also. Most have firetruck day, etc during the summer.
We walk to the park or go to the pool in the subdivision.
Naps
We cook sometimes. We'll make pancakes or brownies or something
Sandbox outside, legos,
Puzzles
