To wander how you keep keep toddlers busy all day

Inspired from the other thread about tv when you are I'll.

My younger kids 3 and 1.5 watch a lot of tv. They play with their toys for a bit but get bored quickly. I know I'm gonna get nagged at here for being a bad mother as they do watch quite a bit of tv, but I feel that have learnt quite a bit as its only cbeebies.

Looking for activities and things to do. Curious of how others spend the day with toddlers and what their routines are like.

Today was a typical day for us (DDs just turned 1 and just turned 4):

Up at 7.15. Small world play while older siblings and I get ready for school run
8.30: 4 yo to nursery
9: story time at library with 1 yo
10: home for snack, painting, reading and nursery rhymes with instruments
11.30: collect 4 yo and scoot to park to play
12.45: arrive home for lunch, 4 yo helps prepare it and 1 yo potters
1.30: take dog for a walk to local ducks, 1 yo naps
2.15: arrive home for 4 yo and I to do puzzles, reading, messy play and small world play
3.30: collect older siblings and go to soft play
5.30: arrive home for tea, DCs have play doh out while I cook
6.30: dancing and dressing up, imaginary games
7.30: board games while 1 yo potters
8.15: reading
8.45: teeth, pj's and bed

TV is only on perhaps once per fortnight for a film night and neither young child usually pays attention - they usually prefer to play instead
