I can't afford to send out my toddler to day camp. I want to make activities for them. What's a good at home toddler schedule?
What are you favorite toddler activities?
Easy non expensive easy to prep
Willing to invest in some good craft ideas and supplies

One thing that helped us a lot the summer we did this is we paired up with another family with similar age kids. It gave me adult company so I didn't lose my mind, my kids alternate playmates, and an extra pair of hands when I needed to get baby down for a nap.
We started camp at 8:30 with davening. Then craft. Then playtime. Snack at 9:45, then swim ( I splurged on a fancy kiddie pool with a slide and sprinkler). Came in around 11:30. Making lunch was an activity, then playtime, and our friends left at 1 because some of the kids still napped. After nap we went out- errands or Library or park.
I gave each week a theme. Ex: car week I had a whole bunch of car projects, and we did "car wash" instead of swim one day and we make cracker/ fruit cars for snack another day.
Things to have: model magic (I got a huge box of 1 oz packs from Amazon). Chalk. Stickers. Big boxes like from the grocery store order.

Ask if there is any place that offers free admission in the summer
If you post where you live someone might be able to help you.

If you work at a camp you might get a free or reduced fee. Or start your own backyard camp with a few kids?
