Looking for post birth activity ideas

Activities & Play

Hey everyone! I'm having a C-section next month and my daughter is 2.5Y.

I'm looking for ideas of activities that can be neatly stored in bags so I can just grab one when I need a few minutes like to nurse or get baby down for a nap.

I have the obvious like play dough, moonsand, and colours.

I'm thinking of getting a bag of pom poms and some rainbow silicone muffin cases for a colour sorting game.

Id like them to be things I can still sit closer and engage with her whilst she's doing it but not have to jump up and prevent damage (like felt tips or slime ๐Ÿ˜‚)

Thanks for any recommendations!

Also...any tips for this age gap?

I've done an 11 month gap and an 8 year gap...but never a toddler and a newborn. I'm scared ๐Ÿ˜‚
