15 Toddler Entertainment Ideas That Will Help On The Changing Table

by

If your little one is making diaper changes difficult by kicking and squirming, avoid a mess with these toddler entertainment ideas for the changing table.

15 Toddler Entertainment Ideas

It’s that awful, slow-motion moment when my toddler starts squirming and kicking in the middle of a diaper change, and the mess in the diaper is now the mess on the changing pad, on baby’s feet, and on me.

A small problem just became a very large problem.

And of course, this happens when I’m running out the door somewhere, trying to load three kids into the minivan and hoping not to have kid-poop all over me.

(Seems like a reasonable goal).

As someone with a fairly busy schedule and a lot of kids to wrangle, I have tried to build up a ready supply of toddler entertainment ideas. They have served me well, and many of them were developed after disasters.

There’s not much worse than having your child kicking and screaming and making a mess while you’re simultaneously thinking, “man I wish I had grabbed that crinkly book to entertain her.”

Too little, too late.

Even though I just graduated from two kids in diapers down to one (happy dance!!), I can assure you that I still use many of these with my youngest. Thus far she is fairly agreeable on the changing table, but she is rounding the corner on two.

All bets are off at that point.

My name is Heather, and I like to organize.

I feel like that’s a secret confession. Here’s another one:

Even though I love organizing, there’s one thing I’m not: an OCD perfectionist living in a magazine-worthy home.

I love to help overwhelmed moms make sense of all the stuff in their homes without worrying about achieving perfection. I’m all about the cozy real-life feel!
