Parent Shares Simple Hack For Keeping Toddlers Busy With Just Water and a Paintbrush
, I really try to make sure the time I spend with my son is quality. We play together, read together, and spend the few hours we have a night together as much as possible. Before he wakes up and after he is in bed, I try to fit all of life in -- the cooking, cleaning, and otherwise necessary tasks of keeping my house somewhat together. The truth is, though, there are nights I run out of steam after tuck-in, and on the weekends, I have to make up for it.
Of course, my little shadow doesn't quite understand why mommy isn't fully focusing on him, and I'm left to devise ways to keep him entertained. Movies, iPads, and the like don't really buy me a ton of time. He's got the attention span of a house fly, and tasks take about four times as long to complete with him around. So I started scouring the internet for things parents do to keep their super little ones entertained, and honestly, I was coming up short. Everything I found involved something a Pinterest influencer could only master, until I stumbled across a little gem on Reddit.
Other genius parents were inspired to drop a few more twists on this trick to make sure the fun lasts even longer. "Works outside in the summer, too," wrote Others suggested letting them take a bucket of it and a full-size brush and letting them paint the house, garage, or the fence.
