Hi all!! I work in a center and was recently moved from infants to twos. I have mostly boys 😳! I need some ideas please to keep them busy! They seem to have great fun hitting, kicking and throwing toys at each other. The previous teacher got rid of most of the toys and other things that keep little ones busy. I’m thinking the more hands-on activities the better. Thanks for all your ideas!

If they are inclined to hit, kick and throw, find a way to allow it.
Hit = Drums (even homemade), Bongos, Hammer and Peg toys, etc.
Kick = Monster Feet Stomper toys, Jumping Jacks, Jump Rope, Soccer net, etc.
Throw - Basketball Toss, balled gym sock (snowballs) toss into laundry baskets, Cornhole, etc.

Sounds like my former 2 year old room at the center I ran. I walked into the mess and my company gave me not authority for anything.
Teacher removed everything from room.
The kids were not violent but they had no toys.
Kids like spraying the table with water. So simple.
Paint brushing with water
Puppets
Soft books.
Toy cars to sit on and wheel around.
