Attention: Grandmas. Need ideas for little ones

So many Grandmas here, I thought we might share ideas for playing with the kids. Here's my contribution. By the way, mine are 2 and 3.

They love the salad spinner. Put small toys in and make them go around and around.

On youtube, Super Simple Songs are so charming and sweet I like listening to them myself. Hickory Dickery Dock is funny, Row Row Row Your Boat is so gentle, good for a last listen before a nap.

We had a "Toy Wash" on the patio. Put 3 riding toys out (Cozy Coupe, etc.) with a small pan of water and some paint brushes and rags. I didn't get the hose because I didn't want them getting soaked. They washed the toys and dried them with rags. They also like to write on the patio with chalk. I make them lay down flat and trace around them, then draw in the clothing, hair.

Oh, by the way, when there are squabbles over toys, I get out the timer and set it, when the timer rings, it's the other one's turn. That way it's the timer in charge, not me.

Any other ideas?
