i have a 3 year old and a 10 month old. I'm running out of ideas to entertain my children. Any advice or suggestions. What do you do to entertain your all day w/o using the tv?

I have an 11month old daughter,

Blocks, dress ups, trucks and cars, playing outside, arts and crafts for the older, reading, music and dancing around...

Water play is fun. I fill.a pan with water then give out floaty toys. Shaving cream finger painting or clean mud made with water and toilet paper -
There are classes for the 3-yr-old, music, gymboree, yoga, that kind of thing. You can bring the 10-month-old along. Also, storytime at the library. We don't have TV anymore and we don't miss it. Read to the kids, they can play together, go for walks, to the playground, take them out to lunch if it's not too hard, playdates, art projects for the older one...

If your kitchen is tile/linolium it is great to give them paper, crayons, markers, paint and let them go for it. If you have any boxes of loud toys those usually work pretty well. At that age they hav dso much imagination.

Coloring, play-doh, finger painting, board games, build a fort, line chairs up and pretend its a train or whatever, hide and seek, bake something, my son loves for me to put vinegar and baking soda in a 2 liter bottle and put a balloon on top and watch it blow up, go to the park, play outside. There's many things to do. -
look for a MOPS (mothers of prescchoolers) group in your area
