Bored kids, endlessly begging to watch more TV or play a game on your tablet or phone, are a hazard of winter when there are toddlers in the house. You don't have to succumb to the whining, though. You are in charge here! And you know where too much screen time ends: crabby and hangry.
Gently take away the screen and pop open this Playhut Pinkfong Baby Shark Explore 4 Fun Pop-Up Play Tent. Get your child's imagination started with a micro story: "Baby Shark is going to bite you!"
Your toddler will disappear into the tunnel and her own imagination. This is so much better for her brain, body, and mood. You can let your child indulge in "sandbox play" for hours — if you deliver a few snacks.
This is so easy. It's only $28.69 at the moment, down from $36.99. And it's adorable!
It pops up in seconds. It easily folds away again so it won't eat up your living space. And your child will forget about it — a little — while it's packed away, so every time you bring out this play tent, it will be fun again.
This will help the two of you get through the winter together without too many fights over screen time.
