Looking for ideas of what to do on long shabbosim to pass the day. We try to make the meal later and go on a walk (to the park if it’s nice weather), play some games, sometimes nap.. and the day is still so long!! It’s just my husband and me and a toddler.

Does he nap? If so nap when he does!

Do you have friends or family or relatives near by that can come over? Do you have books or magazines that like? Or maybe you can get books during the week and save them just for Shobbos?

Even with napping with my toddler, he wakes up at 2 and then we still have 6 and a half hours to go…
Some weeks we have nearby friends or family that stayed home for shabbos sometimes not. I love reading I just feel bad leaving my husband hanging…

It’s not your job to entertain your husband. If he doesn’t want to read that shouldn’t stop you from reading

I struggle with the same. The men have their Shabbos day more broken up, with all the Shul-going. Even with taking a walk, having a nap, playing a game, reading, the day is still very long…

Also if I'm not niddah, we spend a lot of time Shabbos afternoon on our bedroom....
Buy items that are sensory but not mukzah that you can try out (feather, massage roller)

Does your shul have family programming? Mine has babysitting/kids groups so I would go, then come home for lunch, nap, go to the park then it was bed time. Now with more kids and a full time job I am a lot lazier shabbos morning but I should really start going back to shul again. But when I just had one toddler that was our basic shabbos day schedule. I also made so many friends from the park and from shul who are still my friends many years later.

Maybe he can watch the toddler and you can nap or go to a neighbor to shmooze.
Also, as a couple you can learn a sefer together.
