Bucket lists…lots of us have made them, several of them even probably. They might be life bucket lists in general, crazy things you want to do type lists, or even travel bucket lists. Some of us have probably ticked a couple of things off the list as well.
Have you?
What if toddlers did bucket lists? There are a whole host of things you should do before you reach the grand old age of three surely? So many things perhaps that only a toddler could get away with.
I’ve been thinking about this lately – inspired of course by my own four little darlings, who have all had their moments, and I think a toddlers bucket list might look something like this:
- Surf down the stairs naked except plastic body armour – because it is the toddler version of bungee jumping
- Use all available resources to climb up onto the kitchen work-surface and dance to MTV
- Empty all kitchen cupboards as fast as possible because it sounds so good when everything hits the tiles on the floor
- Stay up all night – just beacause
- Paint your siblings with cake mixture, felt pen, paint – possibly all three
- Wee on the floor in every room of your house – it’s called marking your territory
- Go on hunger strike to see how long it is before you get ice cream
- Go to the supermarket in your pj’s – Â because you can’t get away with it forever
- Re-decorate the kitchen with yoghurt
- Find the biggest puddle in the whole world and jump right in, then cry and demand to be carried a mile home
Toddlers…they are basically pint size lunatics who manage to be breathtakingly adorable all at the same time. A bit like my mini Clark Kent here!
What would be on your toddler’s bucket list?

This is hilarious. Clearing up after their bucket list certainly leaves less time to even think about what might be on our own one! Made me smile via #twinklytuesday. Thankyou.
Glad it gave you a smile ! Thanks for reading 🙂
Love this! Yea, the hunger strike one. For now I just get the I’m gonna yell until they give me what I want to make me quiet lol
Yes indeed! You are so right!
Erm… have you been spying on my boys?? 😉 They would love — and *do* love to do ALL of these things. Mama, on the other hand, is not quite so keen on any of them!! Thanks so much for linking up with us on #TwinklyTuesday
Haha – yes maybe! Thanks for reading !
Hehe. Fun post.
I think my girls’ bucket list item would be to see just how much of a mess they could get away with making in the dining room. They’re already doing pretty well with achieving that goal, but somehow it always seems to be even worse the next day.
Ah yes – that’s a good one, spray everything up the walls perhaps?
The wee on the floor in every room got me! I swear Marianna just saves it all up for the moment the nappy comes off… Lol. #fridayfrolics
Oh yes of course ! They always do – what does it look like gallons as well?
Streak through a house full of people, just because you can. Love this. Thanks for linking up to #FridayFrolics.
HAHA yes! Absolutely!
Ha great list! I’m sure this represents most toddler minds! Now wondering how many my two have crossed off ha #twinklytuesday
Haha yes! What do they have left to achieve?
This has made me laugh, what a list! Luckily most of these did not apply to my girls…. maybe this is more a boy bucket list? Thanks for linking #sharethejoyliny
Oh you lucky mummy!
Brilliant list! The last one is sooo familiar to me! Very funny #sharethejoy
Thanks – they are good at that aren’t they?
Hahaha! These are all so true, I’m sure my boys have managed to do all of these except the stair surfing and that is only because we don’t have stairs! #sharewithme
Ah yes – an advantage no doubt!
Peeing all over the house and emptying the kitchen cupboards have been ticked off Tin Box Tot’s list for a while now 🙂 Other things that I’m sure she would add are: going for a world record number of wees in the night while potty training; sneezing the longest boggie ever; and watching 20 episodes of Peppa Pig back to back on YouTube 🙂 #sharewithme
The kitchen cupboards drive me crazy – it is the fridge at the moment and helping themselves to the milk arhhhhh!
HAHAHa! Love it. Thanks for a good laugh! #Sharewithme
Lol – glad you enjoyed it 🙂
Oh I love your toddler bucket list. I daresay my kids would have the similar ones too. Thank you so much for linking up to Share With Me. #sharewithme
Thanks Jenny!
Show me where the red lentils are so I can sprinkle the entire packet in every nook and cranny in the entire house.
Lol – brilliant ! You will be finding them forever no doubt x
