Here's a tip if you need to keep your toddler occupied while you're working in the kitchen.
Fill a kitchen cabinet or drawer at your child's level with plastic storage containers and cups for them. It will keep your child busy in the kitchen, allowing them their own space and objects that they can play with. Stacking cups, plastic bowls, spoons or containers will keep your child endlessly entertained – it'll keep the little hands busy, while your big hands are working away!
