Toddler Activity Ideas Guide

I'm running out of ideas to keep my toddler engaged, entertained, and learning without turning to screens.

Child's age: [AGE — 12 months to 4 years]
Our situation: [stay at home parent / working part time / childminder some days / both working]
What they're into: [DESCRIBE — physical / craft / music / outdoors / imaginative play]
Time and budget: [how much time you have / monthly budget for activities]
What we've done to death: [LIST]

Give me a fresh toddler activity plan:
1. **20 activities** matched to their age and what they're into — specific, not vague
2. **5 activities that need nothing but what I have at home** — for the rainy day emergency
3. **Sensory play** — simple setups that engage and extend attention
4. **Outdoor activities** suitable for this age and UK weather
5. **How to extend any activity** when they're engaged — following their lead
6. **How much structure they actually need** vs free play — getting the balance right
