to chicken pox and is going out of her mind with boredom. She already played with every one of her toys, took a long bath, colored, did stickers, and playdough.

Take each one of these steps further. Don't just play with playdough, but make your own together so it becomes a double activity. Make your own bath crayons together for drawing with in the tub. When it's time to eat, have her "help" you cook meals. And meanwhile, be grateful it's just temporary. Being stuck home with an almost 3 year old, plus several others, describes my entire 2020

Except that I am working the entire day, trying to make up from the past month, and its my husband (who is still on bain hazmanim from yeshiva) that is watching her. And I think he is losing his mind more than her already/.

Someone just recommended this book to me. Even if you don't do TV it has great ideas.

I'm not a fan of screen time but I would make an exception. If you don't watch videos you can even play your wedding video for her.

Some things we like which can make a little bit of a mess but keep my kids busy
1) kinetic sand- I have kinetic sand folding sandbox and my kids are pretty good w keeping it in the box. I have little tiny trucks they use with it too
2) play with water- give them a big bowl w water and some droppers, tongs, little toys floating around in there like plastic frogs
3) If it's an option for the kid to play outside, do chalk, bubbles, play with a spray bottle (dollar store) which my kids love
4) this isn't the most hands off but my kids like to look at magazines and make a collage. so if there is a picture of a car, dog, bike or anything else that interests them we cut it out and then they glue the pics onto a paper
hatzlacha!!
