The current times call for extra creativity and more indoor activities. 10 Two Ingredient Recipes for Sensory Play on this list including play dough, dust, putty and slime.

Last week I shared 20 Board Games Under $20 and 50 Things for Kids to do in (or Around) the House. This week I have a total of 13 boredom busters that are quick to create and are sure to keep little hands busy on long days indoors. Six of these quick activities are even edible! You will find that the three bonus recipes near the bottom of the page require a couple extra ingredients but they are just as much fun to make and play with.
