Forgot the baking, these mess-free toddler entertainment ideas are both fun and free as it makes use of what you've already got. 

2. Cloth nappy bean bag toss

Use your washing basket as a target and help your little one toss your cloth nappies in. If you've got a toddler basketball hoop, this works even better. Take it in turns and give yourself a handicap of standing further back ! Alternatively, you can use painters tape to create different targets on the floor. This game helps your little one work on their hand-eye coordination.

3. Cloth nappy scavenger hunt

While your little one is napping, hide loads of nappies around the play room. When they wake up, explain the game to them and help them find them. This game helps to boost observation skills for your little one, and is a great warm up for when the Easter Bunny comes to visit.

4. Cloth nappy egg and spoon race

Grab a couple of spatulas from the kitchen and balance a cloth nappy on the end. Use painters tape to make out a start and finish line and help your little one keep the nappy balanced on their spatula to complete the race. Be sure to celebrate them crossing the finish line. This game helps to develop your toddler's hand-eye coordination, ability to follow instructions, and their sense of balance.

5. Cloth nappy sorting

With your washing basket full of nappy covers and cloth nappy inserts, get your toddler to help sort inserts into 1 pile and nappy covers into another pile. As they're sorting you can snap the inserts onto the covers and thus creating nappies that are prepped and ready to go. This game helps your little one to build their cognitive skills as they learn how to categorise items. This is our favourite "game", as really it's just getting your toddler to help you with your household chores!
