For a toddler, what's better than Disneyland, better than Sea World, better than the state fair? It's your local home improvement warehouse! It can be quite an adventure for a toddler. Find a time when it is not crowded so that you feel comfortable following your child at a discreet distance. (We're lucky - our small town store was deserted even on a Sunday morning.)
Think of all the interesting sights, sounds, and even smells in one of these places. There are bins of screws, chains, and tubing to explore right at a toddler's eye level. There are aisles of lumber, lights, plants, colorful books, paint chips, and beeping motorized carts. Plus, for a new walker, it's exciting just to have the miles of aisles to roam around in. We took a break by riding the electric shopping cart around the store, which was quite a kick for me too.
And it's free.
