Keeping 2 year old entertained

Hello fellow second time parents! I have a 1 week old and a 2 yo.... wondering if anyone has some great toddler activities to keep them entertained on those days it's harder to get out of the house or while baby is feeding? Aside from toys of course. I tried a bit of craft / colouring this morning but he's not that into craft... hoping that might change! Anyone want to share genius ideas for easy entertainment!?!

Congratulations on your new arrival☺️ I also have a 2 year old and one week old. My little boy enjoys kinetic sand in a shallow box with some diggers or some animal figurines and jigsaw puzzles. My husband is still on paternity leave but I’m planning on making a stash of easy to grab, no set up activities for my little boy for those times I’m feeding. 😊

@Lauren brilliant suggestion thank you!! And congratulations!!

Congratulations 🎉 Don’t know how well it work but could you have a box of special toys he can play with while mummy feeds baby? I’d get a box and maybe set a budget and let him help pick the toys within the budget and it exiting for him as he have new toys for a short while each feed or even have some set time when you need say 15 min or how ever long but set a timer for each time special box comes out I’d just not have it out all day keep to set times or it wouldn’t be a special box anymore.
