entertainment for a 2 yr old and 9 month old? not expensive though?

Answer 1

Reading to them. It is great learning for both and teaches a love of books.

You can also use blocks with letters on them and make words. Not only does it work on motor skill, it reinforces the reading that is so important to all of us.

Answer 2

they 2 year old is easy have you every goten him a large expensive toy and watched him put it aside to play with the box? this is very normal for kids his age you can give him tiolet paper roles or paper towle rold tape two tiolet paper rolls together and show him how to use his new binoculars for the 9 month old try to do some thing new with his old toys hang them from the kitchen table or coffee table with astring let him tug hit and swing them you may also have your 2 year old turn some of his old out grown toys into toys for the 9 month old but helping him make suretheir clean and show the baby how to play with them that way he doesnt feel like hes looseing his toys and the 9 month old has new toys

Answer 3

Blocks, foam letters, seasame street, blues clues, wonder pets, younger cartoon stuff on tv that is educational or silly as well as the classics like care bears and stuff like that the 2 yr old will start to sing along and the 9 month old can bounce so it works out as well as soft balls and stuff they can roll around hope those help

Answer 4

I've had your dilemma year-round, ever since my second child was born. Check your local library. Our library periodically offers free storytime groups that are fun for both kids. Local parks (obviously when it gets warmer) are fun but can wear you out pretty quickly with toddlers. I've also just learned about a new restaurant in our area (may be one near you, too) called Stonefire Pizza, where children under three are free to eat AND play (they have a water table, a train table, a huge climbing structure, a ball pit, face painting, etc etc etc). You do have to pay for your own pizza buffet though (so it isn't free, but not too expensive). Or try your local parks department. Ours offers inexpensive tumbling, music, art, swimming, and other kinds of classes, even for babies. There is also a website in my area for local playgroups, so you might want to do a search for yours in case one exists. And when you need a little downtime, Babyfirst TV is age-appropriate, educational, and commercial-free for about $10/month (check your local cable or satellite provider). My kids also love the Baby Einstein videos; your library might carry them. Oh, and my little girl just figured out that she can play a primitive form of "catch" with her little brother (who can't really catch yet). It's fantastic when they actually play together! Good luck!

Answer 5

Bowling & Roller Bladeing for the 9yr old both in doors. 2 yr old coloring anything hands on!

Answer 6

Whatever you plan to do to entertain your 2 yr old , make it Short ...Sweet and Colourful! Always remembering that their attention span is short. You can buy some coloured paper and do cut out of words that spells his/her name. Cut out shapes in different colours and make up simle stories. Stories that will make his/her eyes glow. The most important this is to make sure YOU are having FUN!!! because if you are have fun....trust me ...he/she will be having a GREAT TIME TOO!!!
ENJOY!!!!
