8 Genius Ways to Keep Your Toddler Entertained While You Work from Home

Fill a box with new (or forgotten) toys, craft supplies, or puzzles. Bring it out only during work hours to keep their curiosity alive!

Set up a small desk next to yours with a toy laptop, paper, and crayons so they can “work” like you. They'll love feeling important!

Use painter’s tape to create roads, hopscotch, or a maze on the floor. Give them toy cars or encourage them to follow the path like an explorer.

Let them listen to fun audiobooks or kids’ podcasts with headphones. It keeps them engaged while stimulating their imagination!

Set up bins with kinetic sand, water beads, or rice for a mess-free tactile experience. Just lay down a mat for easy cleanup!

Turn snack time into an activity! Let them make fruit kebabs, decorate crackers, or “paint” toast with yogurt and food coloring.

Fill a jar with dance prompts (e.g., "wiggle like a worm" or "spin like a ballerina"). Every hour, let them pick one and have a dance party!

Give them a large sheet of paper and stickers to create their own story. Encourage them to “tell” you the story later while you take a break!
