Toddler Talk Thursday ~ Week 2!

August 5, 2010 By Emily 9 Comments

Family and Life in Las Vegas

Welcome to the second week of Toddler Talk Thursday! Family and Life in Las Vegas got together with Lolo from Crazy about My Baybah, and we decided to create Toddler Talk Thursday as a place for moms and dads of toddlers to come together over a weekly topic and share ideas, go-to toys or products.  Not to mention it is a great way meet other bloggers of toddlers. Topics will range from Dinner Dos and Disasters, Books, and Bedtime. I encourage you to join in, share what works for you, as well as your toddler’s likes and dislikes.
This week’s topic is Toddler Fun Outside the Home: Fun and Educational Activities. 
Living in Las Vegas has it pros and cons.  Sure we don’t have the “shut the town down” blizzards that we had growing up in the Midwest, but we do have so seriously hot temperatures in the summer time. 
So what do you do when your Toddler is begging to get out of the house?
LET ME OUT!!

  • Some of our favorite Outside the Home activities are going to the library.  Usually we go and try to make the story time.  If you haven’t done this yet, I highly suggest you try one in your area.  Squish has so much fun.  He loves the songs, and books. And best of all it is FREE!
  • Another thing we do is Baby Gym.  There are ones you can pay for, and they are also ones that are offered FREE up to a certain age.  We go to a FREE on that is offered on Tuesday‘s and Friday’s.  I am kind of sad we only have 4 more months of free play. 
  • Squishy is a little Fish.  He loves to be in the water. Here in Las Vegas they have water playgrounds, or Splash Pads.  They didn’t have these where I grew up, but we also lived a few blocks away from a beach.  Playing in the water is lots of fun for little one’s.  We are also about to sign up for a swimming class.  I can’t wait!  Of course you can always make water fun even in your own backyard too!
  • Another fun thing to do with your Toddler is a kindermusik class.  While these can be a bit pricey, they are also lots of fun, and engage your Toddler in lots of different learning ways.    If this isn’t something you think you can do, consider picking up one of these drum sets.  I can’t even begin to tell you how much Squish loves it. It is one of those toys that will grow with your Toddler too.
  • Finally, think about joining a playgroup.  We do a regular Thursday playgroup, and it has been a lot of fun.  Best of all Squishy and I both have made a lot of great friends going to our playgroup.  In fact I am heading out to Mama Bingo tonight with some of these great Moms!

    Our journey has begun!… secretly though

    If I’ve left you this message, you’re a follower of my original blog ~OR~ just someone I’ve happened upon while sending out these invites and that I would LOVE for to come along for the ride! Though I won’t be revealing who I am just yet – until we’re TO and THROUGH the first trimester! Just getting the word out about our new site – further explanation of all the secrecy and what we’re about on my first post. I’d love for you to stop by.

    Exciting things going on around here!

    we have splash pads around here too! SO FUN! I've heard of kindermusik but never tried it. We like to ride bikes when its not too hot, go swimming, and lately WASHING THE CAR has been so fun-its so hot that we all get out there in our clothes and by the end, we've all had a contest of who can get the other with the water hose 🙂 Ha, we have to keep it interesting with two boys!
