We just moved to a new state and I'm not very good at getting around. I'm a stay at home mom and I have a 2.5 year old and a 6 month old. The 6 month old pretty much does her own thing but my 2.5 year old craves constant attention. What are some crafts or games I could do with her to keep her entertained while not completely ignoring my other little girl? She loves to color and dance. How could I incorporate this into our games and activities? Help me think please!!! ;-)

If you have the financial ability to find a dance studio where she can go and dance. They do have classes for 2 year olds.
Then you can sit with your baby and watch her dance.
Some fun things to do with them together would be to get fingerpaints and let her paint, sidewalk chalk, make cookie dough with her (let her dump in the ingrediants) then eat the dough and cookies. Get some blocks or legos and build towers while counting the pieces...teaches them to count.
There really are so many things!
Just have some fun and even though you are probably really tired have some fun and then have some quiet time where you can shut your brain down!
Good luck!

Singing and dancing is great for both kids!
Go to the park, meet new moms who probably live in your neighborhood.
Go for walks daily and don't be afraid to say hi to other moms.
Hold the 6 months old on your lap while you're colouring with your 2 year old. She'll love to watch you guys. Good interaction :)
Good luck!

Dance at home holding the lil one. Take walks and point out things. And my personal fav. sidewalk paint.

Check out story time at the library...
Also, why not let her play with the computer?

She can color and dance - and learn.
