Infant & Toddler Activities




Here are some quality activities that you can do with your toddler that
are extremely inexpensive but packed with fun and great family time.


Create animals, towns, and villages from edible clay:


Make edible clay by combining ½ cup peanut butter, ½ cup honey, ½ cup
dry non-fat milk solids, and 1 1/4 cup graham cracker crumbs. Mix well
and begin on your new creations. When finished, you're left with a
great snack.


Feed the ducks at your local park


Your local park can be a great resource for fun family time. Toddler's
love the ducks. Take some bread along and you're sure to have an
enjoyable venture.


A day at the zoo


Most toddlers and infants love animals and you can spend all day at the
zoo for around the cost it takes to go to the movies. Take a picnic and
enjoy the lions, elephants, and gorillas.


Your local library can also be a great resource for family fun. Here
you'll find tons of books, cd's, magazines, and even movies that you
can watch with your family. When on a budget, the library is a great
place to plan some family fun.
