My Daily Routine with Toddlers

There are so many factors and variables to creating a solid daily routine with toddlers (and all kid ages). It can be overwhelming to know where to start or how a day might even look. This post shares the ins-and-outs of a family’s daily schedule with three kids under five and a stay-at-home-parent.

What’s your daily routine with toddlers?

If I had a dollar for every time I was asked about my daily routine…. well, I’d have like $100 but I know you get me. I’m asked this question all the time and I’m more than happy to share what our typical day looks like.

But here’s the truth that I need you to know and remember:

The best daily routine is what’s best for you.

Every family is different and it would be wild to think we’d all have a similar schedule. We have different variables, different kids, different homes, different jobs, different everything.

The best schedule is whatever schedule works for you and your kids (I’m going to keep repeating this so get used to it). Don’t get bogged down by my schedule and think you have to replicate it because this is what some lady on the Internet does.

I’m sharing my schedule as a jumping off point.

Maybe it’ll work for you. Maybe it’ll get you thinking about what might work for you. Maybe you’ll notice parts of my day that you hate and think “absolutely not.” But even finding the negatives can help you create the best daily schedule for your family.

Things to know about my family

1. My kids aren’t in any activities outside the home. We don’t have school or day care, we don’t have sports or dance, we don’t take any lessons. Being “unbusy” is a big deal to me but that’s a topic for a whole different post on living a slower life with kids. But I wanted to mention it so you weren’t trying to figure out how I juggle those pieces. I don’t juggle them because they aren’t there.

2. My kids are all 20 months apart from each other. At the time of this post, my kids were newly 5, 3 years old, and 21 months old.

3. This has pretty much been my daily routine since my first born came home from the hospital and a large part of this schedule remains in place today. My kids are now 10, 8, and 6.

7 am (ish): Wake Up – I get ready first

I start my day before my kids.

Let me rephrase that: I start my day WITHOUT my kids. I wake up a tad before them or at the same time, and begin getting myself showered and ready WITHOUT them. Call me what you will, but I don’t need an audience for my shower.

Where are my kids?

With exception to any child still in “baby” form, my kids are playing quietly in their rooms. We taught them to do this when we transitioned them from crib to bed. When they wake up, they simply begin quietly playing. This is around 6:30 – 7 am.

Here’s how we taught them to do this: First, we placed a toddler safety lock on their doors for safety reasons when they transitioned to a bed. I didn’t need to worry about a toddler wandering my house at night. They were safe in their room locked in a crib. Now having a whole room to play in is already a major upgrade.

Second, we sneak a bowl of dry cereal into their room before my husband and I go to bed. We jokingly call this the offering. It’s an offering to keep playing quietly. This gives the kids something to safely munch on while they play. Please think critically about whether this will work and be safe for your family.

When they got older and needed to use the bathroom, we removed the lock but the expectation remained the same: quietly play until we (mom or dad) come get you. Since this had always been the routine, it was easy to keep it in place.

Want to start this process with your child? Try using an OK to Wake Clock. Let your child know they can’t leave their room until the clock turns green. It works. I know lots of friends who do this.

I wake up and start getting dressed while my oldest two have independent playtime. They love this and I love this. My 21 month old is still in “baby form”, so he’s my morning get-ready helper and I’m cool with that. By about age 2, he had phased into the “stay in the room” system and I was able to get ready totally in peace.

My whole day hinges on this. It sets the tone. A clean and showered Mom who had a chance to start coffee and maybe make her bed, is a happy Mom.

My crew heading into the zoo. This was a place I felt safe taking them knowing how many other parents were there that I could ask for help if I needed it.

8 am (ish): Get the “Big” Kids – and tidy up

Now that I’m dressed and ready for the day, it’s time to get the big kids, around 8 am. They’ve just had plenty of time to wake up, have had loads of independent/imaginative play, and are ready to start the day.

First stop: tidying up their room WITH THEM immediately after saying good morning.

WHY?

Well, for starters, we’re all there so we might as well clean up. AND it motivates them to NOT make it a giant mess. Little messes clean up quick.

Breakfast and TV time

Yep, it’s cartoon time. Or Mister Rogers time. Or whatever we feel like that morning. Paw Patrol to the rescue.

I make breakfast while they watch one show. This helps me cook in peace and get things set downstairs without answering 47 “but why” questions.

But I try (keyword: try) to turn off the TV after that single episode rather than leaving it on. Life is better for us that way. It becomes harder and harder to turn off as the morning wears on.

Having TV time as part of the routine means my kids don’t have to ask for it throughout the day or worry they’ll never see a screen again. It’s routine. It’s in the schedule. They know when it’ll be available again and for how long. This is crucial.

RELATED: You can read more about my screen time policy with my kids in this post.

Time for some “every day” chores

We all eat breakfast together but the kids eat slow so I finish and chat with them as I unload the dishwasher (I always start it after dinner the night before). I clean up the kitchen from breakfast and by now, the kids are done and it’s 9:00 am (ish).

I wipe the kids down and off they scatter to go play – back to independent play. I’m a big believer in what Jean Piaget said, “Play is the work of childhood.”

So off they go to their jobs, and I can do mine.

My kids honed a lot of their independent play skills during our morning routine. Having play be predictable and part of their everyday schedule (as opposed to being a dismissive “just go play” or only when I’m frustrated and need a break) means better play.

During this bit of independent play is when I start laundry, tidy up the downstairs, and get kids dressed.

My trick to keeping the house clean?

I never clean the house all-at-once. I don’t have an hour to devote to cleaning.

You know what I do have?

Five minutes here and Five minutes there. I can wipe the bathroom after I use it. I start the laundry as I come downstairs to get the kids snacks. I can do windows while they’re eating lunch. A little here.  A little there.

When do I do activities?

Right here. In this time block.

If we need a little something extra and fun to do OR if we have time before we need to be somewhere. I never do a complicated activity – those aren’t my style. Just something quick and easy, and fun for the kids.

A quick and easy activity to keep us busy.

I also set up activities if I need a minute to breathe.

Or I need to do some extra cleaning.

Or someone is having a rough morning and needs something extra.

Activities are a tool I use. I don’t set them up to be “wonder parent” or a “Pinterest parent.” I set up activities as a parent helper. It also means we don’t do activities every day because not every day needs help.

**if I have a baby who is taking a morning nap, this is when that nap would happen and we’d leave the house after their nap.

UPDATE: This is now the time when my family homeschools. Even five years after first writing this schedule, it remains largely the same. This block of time is now when my kids homeschool.

10:30 ish: Leave the House

Everyday, around 10-10:30 am, we have a quick snack and then leave the house.

This is crucial to my day. My mom taught me to leave the house everyday. “It’s something to do!”

We don’t do giant activities each day, like visit a zoo. We do small things.

Mondays are the grocery store. On Thursday, we see grandma. Costco is an outing. Going to a construction site and sitting in the car is an outing. Taking a walk around the block counts. Driving to Starbucks just to go through the drive-thru – it counts!

Anything to leave the house.

Getting out of the house: even if it means taking a walk to the grocery store.

12:30 pm: We come back home for lunch.

Around noon-ish, we come back home for lunch.

I often make our lunch sandwiches in the morning – back around breakfast time when things were calm.

Now it’s mid-day, naps are near and people are hangry. Making sandwiches ahead of time is a HUGE help.

We have lunch and then guess what? The kids scatter to play (yep, back to playing) and I tidy up from lunch. This is their 3rd expected, scheduled, and known block of time to play. There’s no push back because this is as ingrained in their life as meals.

Before their naps, we ALL do one final “blitz” of the house and tidy up their toys, we all play “vacuum chase” and suddenly it’s 1:30 pm and the biggest chunk of the day is mostly done (insert dancing lady emoji).

1:30 pm – 3:30 pm: Nap time is sacred time.

I’m a big believer in naps.

I’m a big believer in quiet time.

My two youngest nap from about 1:30-3:30 pm.

My oldest plays in his room quietly and has his own personal time in there. We kept the nap time ritual / expectation with him: play quietly and rest up (read more about quite time here).

I have some strict rules for myself during this time: I don’t clean at nap time. I don’t do house work. I take my “union break” and rest.

Actually, this is when I worked on my Instagram and web site. But it was still restful and relaxing to me. Like doing a hobby. Eventually that hobby became my job.

My gang at the grocery store aka Donut Monday.

How to get dinner prepped

You know the very end of nap time? How you can just “hear” it coming? You hear the moving of beds and bodies. That’s when I move to the kitchen real quick to get dinner prepped.

Sometimes, I get it all prepped into little bowls so I can play “Food Network Star” as I throw my ingredients together later.

Other times, I’ll make the whole casserole and set it to the side to bake later.

Sometimes, I prep dinner while they eat lunch because they are contained and busy eating so no one bugs me – wink.

Just me and 3 kids in a public bathroom….

3:30 – 5:30 pm: The end of day, before dinner drag

We’re lucky: we have neighborhood kids who all play together almost every day. Days when we don’t all play together are days I remember how lucky I am.

The before dinner, after nap time can draaaaaag.

So this is another time where we do activities – but I always pick an easy one. I call these the “hero activities” because they’re a hero for my life.

5:30 pm: Dinnertime and the changing of the guard

Around 5:30 pm, my husband gets home and we high five – and transfer the “primary parenting role” from one to the other.

He takes over as primary caregiver for the evening. He facilitates after dinner play, baths, and getting ready for bed. I’m his behind the scenes assistant getting things ready like laying out pajamas and tidying up from dinner.

We start the bedtime process at 7 pm and all kids are in bed with the lights off by 7:30.

Baths and bedtime go fast for us – we keep things smooth, on schedule, and on script.

Our tip: We put all the bedtime supplies in our room which has an en suite bathroom. No one leaves the room. No running and chasing kids down. Everyone is contained. Pajamas are laid out on our bed, teeth are brushed in there, books read on my bed and the kids are walked down to their rooms from there. We work like a well oiled factory machine getting the kids clean, dressed, and ready for bed.

7:30 pm: The day is done!

My husband and I walk from room to room saying our good nights separately. This also means it’s easier to keep an eye on kids while we play zone defense to get them into bed.

Each child sleeps with a water bottle in their bed so there’s no need for anyone to come get drinks from us.

Once the last kid door is shut, we take a quick 15 minutes to clean up what was left out so that I can start the next day with a clean-enough slate.

Frequently Asked Questions

I’ve been sharing our daily routine for five years so I’m pretty up to speed on the FAQs that come from this routine. Take a look at the below list and see if your question or more information you could use is in this list.

If not, pop it into the comments so I can make sure to answer it.

When did the baby nap in the morning?

When I had a morning nap to put baby down for, this always happened right after breakfast, around 9 am. Baby could nap, big kids could play and do activities, and I could get some housework done. Once baby was up, we’d hit the road. As baby got older, we might make that morning nap a road nap, depending on the kind of activity we were trying to get to.

How do you get your kids to play independently?

I expect it. I know that may seem harsh or lackluster, but that was the case. It was an expectation and part of our routine. The entire day was built around them playing so I could get the house and life running smoothly. It’s amazing how well kids can learn to play when there isn’t another option. If this hasn’t been the case with your family or your child (I get that, my third born didn’t come into the world knowing how to play independently): please read this post with my step-by-step method for how to help kids grow their ability to play independently. This goes for toddlers to big kids, only children to those with many siblings.

How do you leave each day with 3 kids?!

I taught myself how. We didn’t go to the zoo on the first day. We went to McDonalds, my Mom was our adult chaperone, and it was a complete disaster. But I kept trying. Through baby steps, believing in myself, being willing to ask strangers for help, and by having the attitude that “worst case scenario: we leave and go back home” – we learned. I learned how to handle my kids in public, what their triggers were, what mine were, and how to have simple fun with them out of the house.

When do you exercise?

I’ll be honest: I don’t. That’s not a part of my schedule. If it’s a part of yours, make time for it and make it a priority.

If the kids don’t do clubs or activities, what about swim lessons?

Swim lessons are different than clubs and sports. That’s for life saving and a complete safety must (no different than car seats). Yes, I carved time out for swim lessons and did my best to pick time slots that worked well in our daily schedule.

When do you homeschool or do Playing Preschool?

I like starting school after breakfast. I call the kids back from playing and we begin the school portion of our day. This works well for us – my kids learn best in the AM.

What do you mean “primary parenting role?”

I spend all day as the primary parent for my kids. I’m the parent at home, working with them, leading, guiding, handling things for them. In the evening, that’s my husband’s job. He takes over leading, guiding, and handling things for them. I work behind the scenes to help and support him, the same way that he works behind the scenes to help and support me.

Creating a Toddler Schedule- Top 10 Daily Toddler Activities to Include

With limited patience and BIG energies, it can be very difficult to find toddler activities that will keep your kids engaged all.day.long. And since this time is crucial to kids’ development, the pressure is on to find activities that will keep your kids happy, playing, and growing the way they should.

Making up a toddler schedule can seem overwhelming– there are so many suggestions about how to keep a toddler busy (with each activity lasting for about three minutes).

By sticking to basics and establishing routine daily activities for toddlers, you can really help to create a toddler daily schedule that will leave both you and your child feeling fulfilled.

Creating a daily routine for your toddler helps to make sure that they are progressing in the key areas of language, cognition, gross motor, and fine motor skills.

They seem like heavy concepts (and they are), but when you break them down, there are super fun and simple ways to help toddlers learn the basic skills they need to be successful in preschool and beyond.

We think you’ll find that by fitting each of these activities into your toddler’s daily schedule, you’ll be nurturing their growth, and having lots of fun at the same time.

So without further ado, here are the ten things that you should fit into your toddlers’ schedule every day.

Why Is Having a Toddler Daily Schedule So Important?

Look, we are HUGE proponents of “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” If you are doing fine without a schedule, there’s no need to make one.

However, if you’re here, it’s probably because you need a little help and are looking for more structure.

Toddler daily schedules are a great way to put more structure in your day, to get you a little sanity back, and to help you see the value in what you do all day.

You don’t NEED to check all these boxes (and you certainly don’t need to do it every day!) but these daily activities for toddlers help you see that you really are doing important work, even on the days you feel like you did “nothing.”

Do Toddlers Need to Have Daily Schedules?

The short answer to this is no- toddlers don’t NEED to have daily schedules. But sometimes? Their moms need them. And that’s okay too.

It is helpful to have some predictability within a toddler’s daily routine, according to experts. Whether that’s strictly adhering to the clock, or just building in some daily rhythms, is up to you.

Start by scheduling mealtimes and naptimes for your child, and then add in some routine activities before and after. For example, reading before naptime, or coloring after breakfast. These help kids make sense of their day (and work in valuable skills, too).

Deciding On Activities for Your Toddler’s Daily Schedule

Okay, so we know our basics- set meal times and bedtimes. But what do we do with the other, I don’t know, ELEVENTY HOURS in the day??

It helps to have a steady rotation of activities for your toddler. Think of your week as a whole- are you getting in activities in each of the core areas?

If not, make an effort to create opportunities for your child to grow in different areas. For example, plan for a “Make It Monday,” where you do arts and crafts. Or schedule a “Thinking Thursday,” where kids learn something new, or a “Field Trip Friday” so kids can get out into the community.

Don’t forget- “Grocery and Housework Tuesday” can totally be a thing. A toddler daily schedule only works if it works for you too!

Activities to Include in Your Daily Schedule for Toddlers

There are TONS of ways for your littles to play each day. As a teacher, these are the activities I wish parents would focus on in the first few years of life.

You’d be amazed at what a difference these simple activities can make!

Play Outside

It will come to our readers as no surprise that this is by far our favorite thing to do with our little ones. There are so many simple ways to get outside, and so much to do out there!

Here are some ways for toddlers to play outside:

  • Try to take a walk every day. Look for bugs, birds, and planes. Explore gross motor skills while walking. Narrate what you see.
  • Use a Walk As a Break- Take a mug of coffee, pop your kiddos in the stroller, put in earbuds, and decompress. Your kids are safe and learning, and you can breathe for a minute.
  • Grab some fun outdoor toys. The ones featured in this post have been serving us well for eight years and going strong!
  • Visit a local park. Swing, slide, run, climb- these activities are all FANTASTIC for gross motor skill development.
  • Use sidewalk chalk. It’s the perfect combination of art and the outdoors!
  • Blow bubbles. It’s a calming activity (and popping bubbles is great for fine motor development!)
  • Read books or eat outside. Take an indoors activity outside to change up your routine!

Read to Your Toddler Every Day

It’s never too early to start reading with your kids. Let your child guide their interest in academics at this stage, and instead focus on the joy and pleasure of reading.

Experts recommend that you spend as much time as possible reading to your young child, and to integrate at least one structured reading time each day.

Choose a time, maybe right before nap or during an afternoon snack, and make reading a structured priority.

Dance with Your Toddlers

Crank up the tunes on Alexa or Pandora and shake your stuff with your kiddos. 

Dancing is an amazing way to learn rhythm while getting in some exercise and having fun. In fact, music and dance are integral not only in a child’s physical development, but in their cognitive development as well.

So shake your sillies out with maracas and tamborines if that’s your thing, or play more structured songs like Freeze Dance. Our kids may or may not prefer “Shut Up and Dance” and “Whatz Up, Whatz Up,” but you do you.

Do Toddler Art Activities

You don’t have to go full Pinterest to get this mission accomplished (although I’ve gotta say, we’ve got some SUPER fun ideas on our Pinterest board if you’re into that kind of thing). Let your little ones color with crayons, decorate paper with stickers, and paint with watercolors (you can find our favorite products here). 

Process based art (aka the lazy-mom kind, where you give your kiddo free reign over the materials) is actually far more beneficial for kids than those construction paper ladybugs you see floating around the internet.

Check out our Monster Truck Painting for a great example of no-prep, process based art. It’s fun, messy and then clean again, and full of color and sensory play. A little goes a long way when you’re two, and simple is often best.

Practice Gross Motor Skills for Toddlers

Most people know that toddlers typically progress from crawling or scooting to walking, and then onto running and jumping.

In addition to the basics- think running, galloping, and skipping- children need to learn balance and learn gentle risk taking.

Having a strong sense of balance upon entering school reduces the risk of injury in children, as well as providing academic benefits.

Here are some easy peasy ways to practice gross motor skills with toddlers:

  • Throwing and catching a ball. Use a large ball when you’re starting, or these velcro options.
  • Use Stepping Stones to practice balance.
  • Toss bean bags into a laundry basket or cardboard box (or use stuffed animals)
  • Buy a fold away balance beam (or make your own!)
  • Grab a Magic Moves Wand to keep your kids active inside the house. It works on skills like skipping, sliding, etc.
  • Set Up Your Own Obstacle Course (indoors or out!) using climbers, cones, things to crawl under, over and around, etc.

Practice Fine Motor Skills

While your kids are exploring the big movements their bodies can make, they are also gaining more control over their fingers, hands, and coordination.

Your toddler will increasingly be able to perform small tasks with their hands. This can include things like holding a crayon, but it can even extend to games as simple as picking things up and putting them down.

Here are some easy activities to practice fine motor skills:

  • Eat a snack with small parts, like cheerios, to work on pincer grip (aka picking things up with their thumb and forefinger)
  • Move pom poms between two snackcatchers (or just practice taking them in and out)
  • Have them put q-tips through the holes in the lid of an empty spice jar.
  • Lace beads onto pipe cleaner (or use cheerios or Froot Loops with younger kids)
  • Drop cards into a hole cut into the lid of an empty oatmeal canister.
  • Use stickers.
  • Color with crayons, chalk, and markers.
  • Fingerpaint

We’ve also developed toddler activity packs specifically designed to help your child develop fine motor and early academic skills. Click here to read more about our printable activity packs .

Sensory Activities for Toddlers

I like a lot about the toddler phase, but sensory development is one of my favorites. Nearly everything can count as a sensory activity. 

You can make sensory bins with so many simple, low cost sensory bin fillers. Add a few toys or scoops, and you’re done!

Here are some more fun sensory ideas for toddlers:

  • Create a fun sensory bin, like this construction themed bin, or a lemonade squeezing sensory bin.
  • Play with playdough (get some fun playdough prompts to change things up)
  • Make our fluffy slime recipe, or two-ingredient cloud dough if slime is scary.
  • Play with a touch and feel book
  • Smell the different spices in your cabinet
  • Swing, slide, balance, and bounce- these work on sensory integration, too!
  • Play with water. Throw some recycled materials into the bathtub to change things up, or make bathtime into an activity.

Encourage Toddlers to Help Around the House

This one is slightly controversial- although for the life of me I have NO IDEA WHY.  Teaching my toddler to use the dustbuster was the best idea I’ve ever had. He thinks the noise is hilarious, and loves the “power” it wields.

There are tons of other daily activities for toddlers that can help take care of your to-do list:

  • They can chop veggies using these kid-safe knives
  • “Wash dishes” alongside of their parents using this AMAZING learning tower.
  • Putting things away (as long as the “pick up, put down” phases lasts, anyways)
  • Helping to feed their pets
  • Throwing things away.
  • Putting napkins on the table at dinnertime
  • Sorting silverware back into the drawer when it’s clean.
  • Cleaning baseboards and tables with a spray water bottle and cloth

We’re not talking about making a list of chores for toddlers here, we’re talking about practical, fun activities that help to make them a working part of the household. (And, according to research, it’s actually really good for them!)

Toddlers Should Play with Friends

I’m probably not supposed to say this….but I do not like playing with my kids.  I love doing activities with them- pretty much all the things mentioned above!- but I am NOT a fan of playing pretend.

But my kids? They LOVE it. In fact, kids NEED to engage in imaginative play. And I just can’t fill that need for them.

So I make a point of having kids over for playdates, or meeting up at the park. You don’t have to fill every need of your child’s personally, but it is important that the needs are met.

Toddlers Need to Play Alone, Too!

Oof. This can be a task.  Not all kids are naturally inclined to entertain themselves, which means their moms and dads end up doing a reluctant song-and-dance routine that involves engaging the child non-stop all day. 

I’m here to tell you that this approach? It’s not doing anyone any favors.

Kids NEED to get bored, and it is from that boredom that their creativity comes.  They’ll never learn to use their imagination, create their own fun, or to simply be content with quiet if they are constantly being entertained.

The best way to teach a toddler to entertain themselves is by starting with small increments of time, maybe ten minutes or so, turn off all electronics, and leave them in a place.  You can even sit in the area with them, but pursue interests of your own (maybe read a book, or get some work done).

Set a timer, and try not to direct their play in any way until the alarm goes off. Stick with your routine and give your child independent playtime on their own at the same time every day, gradually increasing the length of time until you reach a comfortable level.

Get our printable toddler activity packs to help you hit each of these areas- every day- for under $3 each.

These ten activities create the baseline for a solid toddler daily schedule that will help them to not only learn and grow, but to thrive.  We’ve put together a printable toddler daily schedule that presents each of these daily activities for toddlers in reasonable increments, and provides a balance between structured and non-structured activities.

Our schedule is perfect for kids from 1-5, and is even easily adaptable for multiple ages and numbers of kids. And for a limited time, our subscribers can get this schedule FREE.
