House
You can do a playdate at a house, and there are many fun activities you can set up for a toddler. You can have a sports day in the backyard and set up a soccer net, a toddler size basketball hoop or a tee-ball set. This can help the children get out their energy and works well if you are having a playdate with multiple kids. If it is the summer, you can set up some water fun with a slip and slide and hoses (make sure to properly supervise your children during any water activities).
Bounce House
A bounce house place can be a lot of fun for toddlers. Many companies offer bouncing fun including Froggie’s Playhouse and Monkey Joe’s. Some of these have a special toddler section where the little ones can jump. Check with your local bounce house place to find out how busy they get because some do get a little crowded and might be difficult for a toddler.
Park/Playground
