Hi just had a baby and desperately need activities for my 2 yr old dd and 3.5ys old ds. I am losing my mind, more from ds who is harassing dd and the new baby. I try not to give him any attention for it and focus on praising him for being nice to them but the truth is that he's just very bored. I need things for him to do. He plays well with 2 yr old so activities that can work for both are best.
He loves to do puzzles but that like once or twice a day. I have way more time to kill. He doesn't like coloring or crafts.
Any
ideas?

Playdough, if your kids won't eat it. Library books on any topics he's interested in (bugs, trucks, animals, whatever) that have great photos in them. CDs (if you have a CD player) of stories or music. Building toys like magnatiles, blocks, duplo, possibly lego if he can manage that. Little cars and trucks, and maybe a garage or a playmat with roads drawn on it for him to use them with. A kitchen set, if he's interested in that. Zingo or similar games-- he's old enough to play them, but your two year old may or may not be able to, depends on her personality and interest. A fake tool set so he can "fix" things around the house. A cheap tent-like toy (or a large cardboard box) for pretend play. Make an obstacle course for him with pillows and things and teach him how to time himself with a stopwatch.
Also, do you know if he's sensory-seeking? If he is, I'd focus on sensory activities if possible. That will also help keep him from bothering/hurting his siblings.
