Teaching Mama has a great post on 20 Toddler Activities. They’re great because they mostly use things you already have around the house. Here are a couple I particularly liked.
Car Wash with Toy Cars
You set up a “car wash” so the child soaps, washes, and dries his cars. (Bonus: he’s cleaning his toys.)
Bathtub with Stuffed Animals
Simple and easy: stick the kid and the toys in the bathtub. Then somehow keep them from turning on the water.
Cardboard Tubes with Pom Poms
Drop the pom poms through the tube and watch them fall. Over and over again!
Next time Savvy Jr. is driving my crazy feeling energetic, I’ll have to keep these in mind.
