I know; toddlers can be a challenge. They’re fine and gross motor skills are still developing which makes some activities hard to do, yet they’re so active and curious. Here are some simple ideas for things to do with toddlers from last week’s kids co-op…

Welcome to The Kid's Co-op! Each week we get together we'll ask YOU to share your favorite kid's activities. We'd love to see a plethora of ideas geared for toddlers to pre-teens. We are looking for activities that are family oriented, fun, unique and educational. Please share your favorite project or blog post below. We will be sharing our favorite post from our own blogs too! {Co-hosted by: The Kid's Co-op Group & Let's Lasso the Moon}
