So, you work but also have a tot…here’s how I keep little hands busy

ByAnna SmithAug 1, 2023In Partnership With Lalo

As a mom, I know how challenging it can be to keep your kids engaged and occupied during the summer months while I'm supposed to be working. Constantly hearing "I'm bored" can drive any parent up the wall. And, frankly, my coworkers on Zoom calls don't want to hear it, either! So how do I work and keep my little ones entertained?

Ladies and gentlemen... The Lalo Play Kit.👏👏👏

The Play Kit is my kids’ favorite spot to come together.

I like to call it their own "office" so we can all sit down and work together (me, on my computer; them, coloring).

And if I’m being honest, I’m a little jealous. This modern and minimal kids' table and chairs set is designed to look good in any space and recently won a Good Housekeeping Parenting Award. The kit comes with one table and two chairs, and you can even mix and match the chair colors to fit your decor. The bucket-style seats keep little ones comfortable and secure, and the smooth surfaces make it easy to wipe down after messy crafts.

My kids love having a designated play area and it’s been incredible to see them explore their independence. Plus, it's made from durable, long-lasting materials, so it can withstand the wear and tear of little ones.

If you want more? I'll give you more...The Lalo Play Tent!

This easy-to-set-up tent is made from FSC-certified beechwood and natural canvas, making it not only fun but also environmentally friendly. My kids love to play in their tent — pretending it's a castle or a secret hideout. It's the perfect spot for them to use their imagination and play independently.

And the best part? It's compact and easy to store, so I can take it with me on the go for playtime anywhere. Whether it's a rainy day at home, or a weekend at grandma’s, the play tent provides endless possibilities for imaginative play.

Coloring Sheets That Are Anything But Basic

These large coloring sheets are perfect for little ones who love to draw and create. They provide a space for children to learn, create, explore, and socialize. Plus, the smooth, seamless surfaces make them easy to wipe down, so you don't have to worry about any messes. The sheets also fit perfectly on the Play Table — which helps me to protect the tabletop from my kids coloring outside the lines!

My kids love to come together on these giant coloring sheets, and it's been a fun way for them to bond and work on their social skills. It's also a great way to introduce them to new colors, shapes, and patterns, and to help them develop their fine motor skills. Best of all, there are different themed packs that are uniquely their own: farm, food, and emotions.

It's Not Just About Keeping Kids Entertained

It's really easy to get caught up in the hyper-speed of life, and yearn for times when our kids are busy so we can take care of everything else we’ve been putting off. But with Lalo, it’s really more than that. While my kids think they’re just playing and having fun, I can see how they’re actually developing.

Lalo's Play Tent, Play Kit, and Giant Coloring Sheets are a mom's secret weapon for keeping kids engaged and entertained, and I could not recommend them more!
