bored toddler!

hiii i’m a stay at home mom of a 19 month old! it’s been so wonderful and such a breeze, but here lately i’ve been noticing him getting SUPER bored very fast. He will play with his toys, or color, or help with chores, or snack for a few minutes at a time but then eventually he gets tired of it and cries because he’s so bored. i will admit we don’t get out as much as i’d like but we live in a small town where there isn’t much to do! We try not to watch tv as much as possible. I like to play in the backyard but we do have a pool so he always immediately b lines for the pool which isn’t safe at all so we do have to avoid that as well.

what are some activities you do to keep your toddler entertained and interacting and learning? open to anything!

our current schedule is

wake up, breakfast, clean up, start laundry, unload dish washer, snack, play in his room, nap(i fold clothes and reload dish washer or do any other chores i have etc during naps), lunch, outside play or swim, shower, snack, play til daddy gets home, dinner, play with dad while i clean up, bedtime.

we do play plenty he’s just not as interested in what we have to play with as he used to be! which is understandable he’s a growing boy! i just need some guidance in some more interactive things i can set up to do with him! thank you 🤍
