I am having a Valentines party for toddlers and I am doing a fishing for prizes game and I need some cheap little toys for prizes. Preferably something I could buy in bulk (playdough, etc.).
Answer
Head to your local dollar store! You can find loads of stuff there, and many times they come 6 or 8 to a package.
I know that some of the big box stores also had things like card games and bubbles in multi-packs for fairly cheap as well.
You could also do a toy swap for the prizes. Ask all of the guests to bring a wrapped gently-used toy that they haven't played with in some time. Each child would go home with a new to them toy, and the parents would be able to clear out something that was taking up space instead of adding more to the pile that we all have! :)

How can I get two toddler boys to share toys and play better together?

I currently babysit for a friend who has a two year old boy who is very laid back and calm. My son on the other hand (20 months) is super active and a little crazy. They both play pretty well together however, I am constantly having to stop the figthting over toys as soon as one picks it up the other wants it. I know I can not fully break them of this, they after all are toddlers but what can I do to help?
Answer
There are some age appropriate toys that have multiple sets of things, which they can both play with at the same time. Or a project that they both contribute to assembling...something big enough that they can work on it without getting in each other's space. May I suggest Place & Trace by Discovery Toys...a set of three separate puzzles geared to their age. Give each boy one puzzle with its 4 pieces. They can complete the puzzle, use it to cut out Play Doh, or even cut out cookie dough and bake cookies in fun dinosaur shapes or transportation or house pet (each puzzle has a different theme). Often, an open-ended toy will be played with in different ways by different kids. That's what you need to look for.
