I was going to say running around like a maniac. Pulling everything he can reach off the tables/ counters. Tormenting the dog. Pretending a helium filled balloon is a punching bag. Asking for snacks.
Asking to go outside is her favorite indoor activity for sure. Bringing us her coat, our coats, her shoes, our shoes, hats, gloves, etc so that we can get dressed to go outside. It is not even that cold out anymore, but she associates those things with going outside.
When we are stuck indoors she likes to throw things or rearrange furniture.
We did get her a wooden train set that will sometimes keep her occupied for 2 to 3 minutes, which is a long time for her.
Oh, chasing the cat and telling him no is a big one.

Crying at the snack cabinet, crying at the back slider, high pitched screaming that makes the dogs react and then he giggles....
On a good day, he loves his shapes and number puzzles. He does them independtly and correctly. Also, he likes to take all his play food and move it around the house piece by piece. Like, he will decide all the play food needs to go on the bathroom floor and then he will complete that task. He only takes one piece at a time, so it takes forever.
Chasing the dog around with his lawnmower or push popper thing. Screeching while he chases her. Standing by the snack closet saying "coo-cah" repeatedly for animal crackers. Looking in the diaper bag for animal crackers. Basically just thinking about and plotting how he can get his hands on some animal crackers (even if he's just eaten).
He is getting into the Little People stuff though. He really likes his farm and will play independently for quite awhile. I just bought him a used jungle one and he's into it. Will look through books for a long time too.

I have to say running around being a crazy person is his favorite indoor and outdoor activity. He has become good at sitting for the iPad though I try to use it for my most needed moments. But if I had to name activities he will do for a while it would be pushing vehicles/anything he can around and playing with keys and pretend phones.

TV and food. She's not into toys at all. So frustrating. Books are cool, too, so we end up reading to her a lot. I'm so glad winter is over and warmer weather is moving in!

Asking to go outside. Asking for food, but saying no to all of it, except yogurt, which she calls, "noki." Like gnocchi. It sounds like she's constantly asking for pasta made from potatoes. Asking for apples, but throwing them. Throwing things. Throwing more things. Singing to her Ariel figures. Dancing, which requires me to hold her and swirl in circles. Old school Disney movies. Peppa pig. Ben and Holly. Running away from the dinosaur/giant who either growls or says "fee fi fo fum." (I am required to play both parts.) Asking for socks. Asking for her clothes to be "off? Off?" Not playing with any of her toys. Dragging things and looking behind her at said things to make sure they are still dragging behind her. Emptying shit on the floor everywhere at all times.
So he is obsessed with anything with wheels and will actually play for a long time with his various vehicles. Especially his Little People bus and plane and Melissa and Doug Mickey train. He calls all the people/figurines "guys" and likes to take them in and out and drive them all over.
We have tried coloring etc but not much attention span there yet.

Getting into stuff. Dancing to music. Singing with her sister. Watching her sister play. Building with Legos. Emptying our box of snap 'n' dress Minnie Mouse and Daisy Duck stuff all over the house. Moving pom poms from one container to another. Climbing into and out of the Lego box. Playing with the baby doll stuff (high chair, cradle, food) in unusual ways - she won't feed her baby but she'll pretend to eat the food herself. Asking for "nack" and "cookie" and "treat" Trying to help herself to said snack in the pantry Taking dishes out of the dishwasher (yay!) and hiding them around the house (boo) The Little People Zoo Talkers (unfortunately for all the rest of you, I think this was discontinued but it is 1 year old crack) Pretending everything is a phone, even better if she can actually grab my phone and pretend to talk on it. Asking for her grandparents. Climbing onto DD1's bed and standing up to get to DD1's alarm clock off the dresser so she can push all the buttons.
