Hi Toogie, from my experience with our grands they all loved finger painting at this age. It's an outdoor activity of course and as it's nearly summer it's a great way of being outdoors and the best place to be.
Also playing with Play Dough. Of course any paper and glue making activity like blowing up a balloon and making papier mache things. You will need kids scissors etc. I used to cut up the paper and let them go wild with the designs on the balloon. Just a couple of suggestions, I'm sure there will be many more. Love Chris

Well Toogie looks like your going to have some fun. Painting, colouring, cooking. My boys enjoy grating cheese, making bread and topping for crumble. Lego/Duplo, simple jigsaw puzzles. Reading, reading, reading. Maybe look on Pinterest to get ideas. Good Luck and if I think of more ideas I will add them

Looks like you will have your hands full. He will miss not being able to do the things the other children are doing. You have some good ideas below and am sure others will come up with more. Give him a big hug from me. Hugs to you also.

Out of ideas. The attention span is so short at this age. I am still thinking he should were a helmet. Could you sew some quiet books with shoe lace, matching shapes etc. Plastic Canvas and yarn to weave with? I do not envy you. Oh yes my girls used to love age appropriate puzzles.

OH Toogie I feel your concern. You have some good ideas given already. Also perhaps a daily walk to see the beauty of nature around you. Are there animals you can visit like horses?

Looks like you have some great ideas below, Toogie...I agree with Angie...I would think a helmet would help... Have you discussed a helmet with his doctor? He would still not be able to do the things you listed above, but it might help in the event he took a spill. It will be challenging to be sure... How about letting him help you with your embroidery...pushing the buttons on your machine when needed... Let him pick out a fun design, then the threads and make some T-shirts for him...

I am happy for you and your family Rylan is doing better. I always loved painting with water colors. Lots of good ideas and comments for you to look though. Make sure you get rest too! Suzanna

I don't suppose he'd be allowed to sit in a wading pool either. Summer can be dreadful without some cool water fun. As others have suggested, helping you sew or cook, and reading sound like good ideas and the quiet walks. Maybe a trip to a zoo or museum? Good luck and I hope you both can enjoy yourselves and not be distressed. Children's board games, maybe?

I know you will do a fabulous job. Children of that age usually do not have the stop mechanism or even a slow down... My prayers are for you!

Toogie I use to purchase videos for Caleb when he was that age and I kept him. Don't know if they still have things like that or not. They were for his age and he would watch them over and over. I remember that purple dinosaur use to drive me crazy but Caleb would watch it for hours at a time. There were many more interesting ones he liked so maybe you can find something like that.

I don't blame you for being nervous, but remember we will be praying for the safety of Rylan and you whenever you need us to pray. I love the ideas of reading while cuddling, finger painting, play dough, simple cooking and so on. How about a trip to the library for the Children's Reading Time? It is a quiet activity so won't stress him or you. He might enjoy watching the plants grow in your garden or even doing a little watering. Perhaps the library has some children's books on tape so he doesn't need to stress his brain with both auditory and visual stimulus. Since he can't be very active, it is a great time to introduce him to lots of fun crafts and he is going to be spoiled with lots of attention. I think you will look back at this time and remember it as a golden time filled with lots of good memories and filled with laughter and smiles. The stress will be left behind.

So sad to hear about his injury. Sending Prayers and well wishes. One thing we did to keep an older boy quiet with little movement, was to go fishing. It wasn't a great fishing hole, LOL, as we spent alot of time waiting for a nibble. Since no water/pool play allowed, we set up a small basin/wash tub with some floating toys and items, and others that would sink to keep him entertained. To cool off, an inflatable small boat with just a little water in it-- provided cushioned support to relax while cooling off a bit. Best wishes for a full recovery!

Hmmm...quiet and 2yo are incongruous! Maybe a fiddle book?

Big LEGO blocks, cars, coloring books, beginner scissors and cutting fun, glue, books, play doh, puzzles, baking cookies. That should take care of the first 10 minutes. I don't envy you sister!

I saw this cute idea for Rylan's age. Find a big cardboard box (the bigger the better - like an appliance box) and let him sit in it and color the inside of the box to his hearts content. Just remember to collect the crayons when he is tired of it so they aren't used to color on your walls!!! I was also thinking about some things to do outside: throwing games - a sand box and perhaps a water table. Little guys his age love playing with a hose. Good luck - please let us know how it will go! Hugs, Laura

Toogie - just Google: water play table and you'll see what they look like. He will love playing in it and it shouldn't be dangerous. Your idea of the bean bag toss is excellent. He could also help you water plants each day. My little grandson loves the hose! Hugs, Laura
