Every kid waits for summer as it is the time to do a lot of fun activities but toddlers are so small that they don't know anything about seasons and their respective activities. Toddlers always keep their parents on toes. There are many activities your toddler can do to make his idle time fun. The following are the activities you can make him do:

1. Give him some easy and chunky puzzles to play. Toddlers enjoy indulging themselves in puzzles.  

2. Teach him about colour matching. Give him various types of small things (colourful pom poms are best to use) of different colours and ask him to separate them based on colour. Colour matching game keeps them busy for a long time. First, play with him and then let him play independently.

3. Give your toddler small colourful cubes so he makes towers from them. It keeps them busy for a long time.

4. Give him bubble wrap to play. Although, it gets little noise that fascinates toddlers a lot. Keep an eye on him while he plays so he doesn't dangerously use the bubble wrap.

5. Make a track for your toddler using craft paper or masking tape and let him race his small cars on that track.

6. Teach your toddler how to colour using sketch pens carefully. It will develop his artistic skills. You can use window markers too if you have big transparent windows. 

7. You might have heard about sensory balloon animals. Give it a try. Your toddler will love it and play with them for a long time.

8. Take your kid out for a stroll in a park or garden especially early morning or evening. The chirping of birds fascinates babies a lot.
