At Home Activity Ideas for Babies and Toddlers

Add a little variety to playtime with these parent-sourced inspiration lists for things to do with babies & toddlers at home.

What are some activities that help develop fine motor skills in young children?

Peeling and placing stickers. Sticker books are great for this.

Sorting small objects, like cereal, beads, buttons, etc.

Placing letters on a letter board. I discovered this one by accident, but I love how it keeps my 4-year-old sitting quietly for long stretches of time while he tries to get the plastic letters to stay in my felt letter board.

Dot art with Q-tips. I like to reinforce letter and number recognition with this activity, too, by outlining a letter or number for him to paint by "dotting" the inside with a q-tip dipped in washable paint.
