The Washington, DC Metropolitan area, just as well as areas in the northern region, are stuck at home during the Blizzard of 2010 (Round 2 for DC). I have a toddler at home who is asking me to do all types of play activities... I play with her, but I need something more independent for her to do. Any suggestions before I lose it?|||You never know if you are bored until you've tried these websites:

You could do a treasure hunt and hide things all over the house while they are sleeping and let them search for them when they get up - like, make some stars and put them on furniture, in drawers and closets.
Or take all their toys and tell your child that the toys are playing hide and seek and they have to find them
Dress-up - pull out all kinds of things for the child to dress up
You could make up a bowling-type game with anything that stands up - containers, toys, and of course a small ball
Build them a little tent area using sheets and blankets under a table or between furniture that they can play in and put lots of pillows and a bunch of their toys inside - they can pretend they are having an adventure by themselves
Download coloring pages for them - and I hope you have crayons http://www.coloring.ws/coloring.html -
good luck to you!
