Keeping Little Hands Busy: Peeling Cuties

My mom discovered over Christmas vacation that M can easily peel a clementine, and it keeps her focused and happy for about 8 minutes. Of course, she then has the pleasure of being able to share the slices with all of us!

What are some easy ideas you have found for helping toddlers stay busy on their own when you can't watch them too carefully?

Eight minutes! That's gotta be a toddler attention record! I'm gonna try it!

give them a little sheet of stickers and a piece of paper to stick on.

I just posted another simple idea like this yesterday that's been working great for me at thejlbs.com.

thanks for all of your good ideas :)

Nothing is working at the moment! Shaving cream, food coloring and toys on high chair - nope. poking cheerios, banana slices, apple bits with flag toothpick - nope.
It is the age of 2, I suppose.
