Want a toddler hack that actually buys you more than two minutes of peace (without a screen)? Here’s my favorite: give your toddler their very own cabinet.

When my kids were little, I always kept one low kitchen cabinet stocked with pots, pans, baking sheets, and wooden spoons. They had free rein over it—dumping, stacking, banging, nesting, and yes… sometimes even climbing in after they emptied it out. Hours of play, all from everyday items.

Why it works:

Independence – Toddlers love knowing there’s something that belongs just to them.

Confidence – They’re practicing decision-making without constant “no’s.”

Creativity – A muffin tin becomes a drum set, a pot becomes a hat, a baking sheet becomes a slide.

Connection – They’re right by your side while you cook, but happily playing on their own.
