The Best Toys To Keep Your Toddler Busy Indoors
I’ve been meaning to share the toys that have kept our 2.5 year old busy during this pandemic. These are the toys she plays with regularly – they keep her busy and engaged, and most are good for independent play. These single digit temps and what feels like endless snow has had us inside all day, so we’re doing our best to keep things fun. And bonus: almost everything here is $25 or under!

Cake Set (for Mice)
I thought this was a full-size tea set but it's a tea set for mice. Still so sweet, and one of Margot's favorite toys. I bring it any time we go to the hospital and we have mini tea parties.
