Between weather and quarantine, you’re likely about to be spending hours upon hours inside with your kids. Of course you’re worried about health and safety—but you’re probably also thinking about how in the world to entertain your little one for an extended period of time.

The good news is that kids think everything is magical, and they can find fun in just about any situation—cardboard boxes become forts, wooden spoons and pots turn into a drum set, and socks become instant puppets (just add googly eyes). If you’ve already used all these tricks, you may be in the market for a few products to help you out.

Luckily, we’ve rounded up 15 of our favorite toys + activities to help keep the boredom at bay when kids (and their parent) are stuck inside.
