What do you sahm do to keep your two yr. Old busy through out the day? If she’s not busy, she gets into everything! you can’t turn your back on her for a second. I also have a six month old so there’s that also. My 2yr. Old knows her numbers, most of her letter’s animal sounds so those things are boring to her and she looses interest in them fast. And the weather isn’t nice enough for walks outside yet with baby. Help!! I’m out of ideas

Weather is always ok for walks even in winter. Babies love it. Take them to some sort of mothers group in your area. It will help them socialize

We did a lot of treasure hunting and playing with pudding like finger paint
puzzles, coloring/ arts and crafts, play doh,
I can’t remember the name of the book but there is one for entertaining toddlers
I have a 2 year old and an 8 month old. Books, activity toys, educational programs, coloring books, musical instruments, a trampoline, tunnel system, the works, but she still follows me around most of the time so yeah, that’s pretty much what they do at their age. They’re curious and like to explore everything around them and want to know everything that you’re doing.

Also if you put heavy cream in a baby food jar and Shake It it makes butter. Mine would shake it forever and then they got to put the butter on toast

Keep her mind busy and growing. Memory games and if she’s ready practice writing her first name, using scissors and cutting on a line, coloring in the lines. Go to library once a week. Do a craft. Grow seeds inside and watch grow and discuss. Or ABC mouse. Hope there’s a few ideas for you. Good luck.

why isn’t it nice enough for baby to go outside? fresh air is good for them. babies can go out in all weathers so long as they are wrapped up warm if cold, if not in a buggie ( stroller) good for the 2yr old as well.let her run off some energy. If she’s having to stay inside no wonder she’s bored. Remember kids are not made of cotton wool , they need all kinds of stimulation to grow up healthy and well balanced.
Movies, toys, playing outside, coloring, some screen time, let her help you with the 6 month old, bake together, park,
this is what my 2 year old is doing now. 
she LOVES the toilet! 
turn away for one second she’s flushing the toilet 37293 times.

I taught my kids to count to ten in English and Spanish… Taught them their colors in both and taught them body parts in both.
Ive been in this situation with twins,they are eight now.
Toys that she can play with, let her use her imagination with building blocks or playing outside in the yard and the baby could use some outside time too.
My daughter likes to cuddle and she also likes to play in her room
Give her a box. Seriously a box. It turns into so many things so quickly and You can also give her crayons or markers to decorate it
