Q:
ways to keep my 23 month old occupied who also has a broken leg?!!
My 23 month old son broke his leg while going down the slide at the park last week! As if that were not enough he was sitting on my lap while it happened, that's a whole other issue. I am struggling with entertaining him and keeping him occupied, while he sees his 3 1/2 year old brother run around and ride his bike! It is also about 95 almost everyday and we would love to be able to get in the pool or play in some sort of water but I need suggestions on what to keep on his cast to keep it from getting wet. He won't let me put a plastic garbage bag on it!! Please any suggestions!!

My son liked small sensory boxes at that age: a small tote with rice, beans, flour, sand, etc to drive little trucks (we used an under-bed box). The same sensory box could be used with kitchen utensils for play cooking. As for the cooling off part, maybe ice cube activities? Good luck!

Here are 4 great summer time activities you can do with your child. They'll keep him active and learning while he's recovering! With most of these activities, you won't need to worry about getting the cast wet. However, something else you might try is water repellent pants, or perhaps a plastic bag that isn't a garbage bag? Something colorful?
