Toddler/Preschool Indoor Fun
Sometimes I just need a list of fun activities to do with my kids when they start to drive me crazy. I keep several lists of activities based on age/weather/indoor/outdoor... This is my list of favorite indoor activities for toddlers and preschoolers. During all of Nashville's rain this month, I should refer to this list more often! I'd love to hear your favorite ideas!
