SAHM Pregnant with a 2 year old on a budget? Activities?

play playdoh

do seasonal activities - like make fall crafts and christmas crafts (cut out a pumpkin from construction paper and decorate; make christmas decorations

go to the library

go to the store

involve her in cleaning house or doing laundry

practice cutting with scissors

play school

Just play games. Sit on the floor and have a tea party or dress up. Go for a walk if you can outside and just look at the leaves. Or even have her pick out a few pretty ones and a few flowers if there are any and help her press them in a book. I mean it doesn't take money to have a good time with a child that young. Just play with toys together, she will like that just as much.

Can you take her to a museum or art gallery?

my 18 month old son LOVES those places, and my local ones are free.

If you CAN get out and about, check your local councils website- they will usually have a list of free activities and attractions.

I think you've got pretty much every thing you can do at home covered, and I'm sort of hesitant to suggest anything involving public transport because I've heard that the British public transport system outside of England proper makes my local one look like a dream in efficiency!

If you DO have decent public transport in your area, take her for a 'treat' bus ride, train ride or ferry ride- my son LOVES these!

Kids love crafts. Make cards, jewelry, puppets, doll accessories and anything else she is interested in. You'll be surprised how much she can do at this age.

why not play some of her favourite music and let her dance? my two year old loves dancing.
