The energy of a toddler knows no bounds, they have a seemingly endless supply of the stuff! Whether it’s climbing, running, asking a hundred questions, or wanting to help you cook – there’s nothing more magical than watching them grow and learn. Saying that, our energy-well dried up long ago, so if you need some fun ways to tire out a toddler, here are a few ideas!

For a real energy-burn, we recommend The President’s Kitchen Garden in Attard. This is a personal favourite as it has different sections for different ages, so even the early walkers have things that they can play on safely.
