<human>: So winter... is coming.  

We spend an hour or two outside of the house each day just wearing her out, and I'm finding I'm at a loss for activities to fill our day when we can't.  I've been looking for ways to involve her in my chores and whatnot, but I'm really lacking creativity here. 

Kid has a snowsuit for winter of course, but it gets very cold and windy here, such that there will be many weeks worth of cold snaps to fill without playing in the snow together.

Capability wise, she's very mobile and relatively coordinated with her hands.  She still has trouble following directions that involve delicate physical skills (has trouble dumping a bowl of ingredients in for me as an example), but I can't say how fast that will come.  We spend a lot of time reading books and learning words, but I feel like I should be doing more "fun" things with her that don't involve her toys. 

What kind of crafts are appropriate for toddlers?  What about 'educational' activities, or motor skill practice can I do with her?

A little about her: she's 19 months, very interested in potty training atm- pushing it more than even I expected to myself, loves to dance and sing and colour and watches too much tv while she's playing... she's learned to turn it on herself when I'm out of the living room, god help me, although I do try to play music as an alternative.  All in all she's a bright girl, but sensitive to harsh stimuli and generally eager to please, but getting into some heavy tantruming lately.

I'm tired of reading nursery rhymes and dr.seuss and pointing out words for the pictures we see in her books.  It's getting dull!

Can you condense the text into three sentences or less?
<bot>: So, what are some fun indoor activities that you do with your kids under 2? Assume a limited budget, but I'm open to ideas on things I can invest in that will be fun for a while.
