Well there is a good chance your cousin won't get bored. When a two year old is in a new environment they like to explore everything. Most likely you can follow her around your house and she will be fine.
But, if you want some good activities, you can use simple things like drawing or play dough. Also, you can get a good movie, like Finding Nemo, or Little Mermaid. You can also crawl around and she can climb onto your back...and use you like a little horse. Also, let her play with your pots and pans with a large plastic spoon in the living room, and let her pretend to cook. Also a little on the messy side, give her several cups of rice in one of the pots, and let her transfer it from pot to pot with a small cup.

Well there's not a whole heck of a lot you can DO with a 2 year old other than do what your cousin seems to like to do. Color or draw or play outside or watch cartoons....

Go to perpetualpreschool.com and look at the recipes for play dough. Let her play with your shoes and pocketbooks and play dress-ups. Fill the sink with warm soapy water and give her plastic dishes to wash. Read to her if you have any kids' books. Let her play outside. Go for a walk. Hope this helps.

one thing that you will learn about 2 year olds -- THEY DON'T GET BORED!!!! and you won't either.. children that age are so easy to play with you can do anything turn on a radio and dance, give him a pan and spoon and let him make music, play chase outside, ANYTHING they are just happy to be exploring and having fun. But please don't let the T.V. babysit him that is the worst thing that you can do for a child that age when he should be exploring his still new world

sing per school songs. Patty cake, peep-eye,Blue's clues, Keep lots of snack food. Play outside slide swing play in the dirt with spoons or kitchen tools, swim in a small pool of water or bathtub. Stay with her at all times and help her play.

Do what she likes to do, since this is only a short-term situation. She'll be so happy! Bring her to the park if she likes it (they all do), or go for a walk if she's tired, or read books, or do trains. It seems like all 2-year-olds love trains and can play with them for hours.

1] go to parkor swing set
2] go outside and watch bugs - don't let her eat them
3] color with washable markers
4] wooden puzzles
5] mini pizzas or cookie bake
6] read books
7] let her comb or brush your hair [ if you are brave ]
8] let her help you 'clean' - sweep, use vacuum, put away unbreakable dishes, fold clothes...etc.
