Click here to read Top 10 Indoor Activities for Toddlers at Home on Hands On As We Grow®


These are my top 10 indoor toddler activities for that I’ve done at home when my kids were young.

Indoor activities for toddlers are a must when you're stuck inside. These are my top 10 easy and fun toddler activities to do at home. Enjoy!

Since its winter time, I’ve got to have a handful of these up my sleeve.

Indoor activities are great to have on hand for any age this time of year. But toddlers especially seem to get antsy and need some extra hands-on attention.

Every one of these indoor activities for toddlers is easy to do. Easy to set up. And uses materials that you should already have on hand (they’re all pretty common items).

And if you don’t have the items, I’m listing a bunch of other options you could do instead!

Do you have favorite indoor activities for toddlers?

Indoor activities for toddlers are a must when you're stuck inside. These are my top 10 easy and fun toddler activities to do at home. Enjoy!

My top 10 indoor activities for toddlers:

1. Cardboard Box Train

Get out the cardboard boxes and create! Let the imaginations flow. A box can be anything: a train, ramps for cars, an airplane, a house.

2. Sticky Spider Web

Tape up the doorway and throw some newspapers (or cotton balls!) at it to see if you can stick them. A great indoor activity for gross motor practice!

3. Shaving Cream Sensory DIY

Shaving cream is a wonderful indoor sensory activity that toddlers love. Squirt some on a pan and just let them have fun. Add food coloring if you like. You might want to put them in an old shirt and maybe put a towel down, too. It does get messy (You can keep messy play clean too, I’ve got 10 ways!)

4. Pop Bottle Bowling Indoor Toddler Activity

Bowl indoors! Grab one of the kids’ balls. Set up a few items for pins. Lots of things will work for these, pop bottles, paper towel tube, or toilet paper works too!

5. Straw Threaded Shoestring Necklace

Create a necklace, toddler style! Use a piece of string (a shoestring works well because of the hard end) and something to thread on it. Big beads would be great. But other items such as straws or large pasta noodles work too. This would be a great fine motor activity.

6. Indoor Energetic Newspaper Throwing

Dig a newspaper out of the recycling bin and have a ball throwing them! You can add a target to the mix with this indoor toddler activity and practice counting too. All great gross motor practice.

7. Slimy Eyes Indoor Activity for Toddlers

Here’s a sensory activity that’s easy and clean! Squirt some hair gel (lotion would work too) into a baggy and zip it up! Add some odds and ends craft items to the mix too for added fun.

8. Lines of Colored Tape

Tape a line on the floor in different ways (zig zag, curvy or straight) and have a toddler walk along it, trying to balance their best. Can they do it forward, how about walking backward? Another fantastic gross motor activity that can be done indoors.

9. Practice Fine Motor Skills with Pom Poms

Have your toddler poke pom poms through an opening in a small bottle, or cut a small hole in a container. Pom poms and other small items can be used for fine motor practice, but always be careful with small kids and watch them closely.

10. Sparkle Cloud Dough

A play dough alternative (although its great, its fun to throw in something else sometimes) is cloud dough. The texture is awesome and the kids will love to explore it.
