Looking for post birth activity ideas
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 ๐)
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 ๐
