    I am a mom of 5 kids. Homeschooling with toddlers can be a little tricky. So here is what I use to keep my toddler busy while I homeschool my older kids. In these bins are educational activities for toddlers. Most of them are budget friendly and I even give some homemade toddler activity ideas you can try right now! These busy bins can even be used for preschoolers as I've seen my preschoolers ask to play with them. ;) I hope you enjoy looking inside my toddler busy bins and get some great toddler activity ideas!
    THANKS FOR WATCHING!!!

    It’s so good to see another parent with children close in age like mine. Finally someone who can relate! Mine are 7,6,4 1/2, 18 months and I’m pregnant. I’ve been a SAHM for over a decade and I’m still learning. Thank you for sharing.

      @PursuingPeace  Před 3 lety +3

      Yay!!! Yes!!! I know plenty of mamas that have 5 or more kids, but not all this young! It's such a different world when they're all so little. I realized the other day that we can't switch our 1 yr old to a stay in car seat yet because the kids who sit in the back row can't all buckle themselves up yet!!! 🤦 So we're working on that one!
      Plus...I clip ONE HUNDRED tiny finger and toenails when we do bath day. ONE HUNDRED!!! 😂😂😂😂

      @mayawallace7627 Před 3 lety

    • @barblink7086
      @barblink7086 Před 3 lety +3

      I have a shoestring that stays in the box with it for lacing the pegs, it is great for color matching either by rows or stacking, counting, create color patterns, string rubber bands around pegs to create letters or shapes, or strum like a guitar, etc. Still comes out when toddlers are visiting and they all love it!

      I was just thinking how I have a ton of random educational and sensory activities I've picked up over the last few years, but they don't get uses often because we don't have a good way to use them if that makes sense. But if I put them in the busy bins then I think they'll get utilized a lot more.

    So your peg board is from discovery toys. I had one for my kids and they are in their 30’s. You had a rep come to your house with learning toys for a show... it was fantastic. The board can be used in many different activities.

    I have 3 yr old I’m trying to start teaching. I haven’t really had much structure and have been going over basic lessons without much direction. I’m feeling pressure to enroll him
    I’m preschool but I would prefer to keep him home. What I’m unsure about is when to do the lessons. I also have a 1 yr old and am pregnant so I’m trying to figure out how to schedule. This video is very helpful, but I wanted some guidance as to what time of day you would do these lessons and how long.

    • @PursuingPeace
      @PursuingPeace  Před 2 lety

      Hi! At this age it's not essential to do any structure so don't let anyone tell you otherwise. 😉 However, if you're like me, you need a little structure to do anything productive. You really only need about 15-20 min a day of structured learning time. The rest of the day can be playing and reading to them. You can fit this time into whatever part of the day is best for your child. (I.e. NOT right before nap time or snack time if they get fussy when they're hungry or tired)
      Here are some curriculum you can look into for this age:
      Before Five In A Row
      Letter of the Week (Confessions of a Homeschooler)
      The Good and The Beautiful PreK
      Hope this helps! 😁❤️

    I've tried to have special things for my 3 year old to do while I homeschool the other child but then he (my just turned 7 year old) gets jealous and wants to do the "fun" thing. 🤦🏽‍♀️ How do you combat that? We are very minimal on book work bcuz he just wants to play. We do TGTB languages arts and math and we definitely can't get 4x a week in so we'll be schooling through the summer.

      Omgosh yes! This is a common issue in our house. I try to have the little one playing in a different room so the other child doesn't get distracted. I've also let the older child play with the little one's toys AFTER they're done with school. Then it's a fun little incentive.
