How to Spend More Quality Time with Your Child – creative ways & toys
Sometimes the days with the kids seem very long and as a mom, I’m always looking for new creative activities for spending a quality time with my kids. If you are looking for new ideas for awesome ways to spend quality time with your little kid, here are a few of my favorite ways.
Cook Together
Mothers, kids and parents who spend time in the kitchen and cook together, discussing family secrets and recipes that has been passed from generations to the next generation, is a simple way of spending time with your toddler. In recent years, it is not easy for working mothers to even make out time to cook together with their kids teaching basic cooking skills in the process.
It is not a lie that engaging your kids in cooking meals needs lot of patience, time, and of course the clean-up which comes after that, particularly when the kids still tender.
I can highly recommend on a very useful furniture that I bought for my kid, that makes this activity even more comfortable, fun and safe, the learning tower. It is a little bit expensive, but it truly worth every penny!

Read Favorite Stories
Make out quality time to sit and read favorite stories with your toddler, it is very helpful as it enhances their learning skill, and it also helps for bonding. Whether you have a school-aged kid or a toddler or even a baby, reading with or to them or making him or her read favorite stories to you is a unique way of spending quality time with your toddler. If you have a modern computer-happy whiz kid, or a tablet then think of getting an e-book on your iPad or Kindle, but anyway, always remember to spend that quality time with your toddler, read favorite stories for a few hours or minutes even if it is just once in a day.

Always create some extra time to stay at home and watch a movie with your toddler, like your baby’s best cartoons with them, or you can have a movie night out where you watch all your best Harry Potter films or Pixar movies.
