Good luck. Hope this helps.

We built forts out of the pillows, cushions , sheets and blankets in the living room.

Play Hide and go seek with a toy. She can hide the object in a room and then you hide the object for her.

Play grocery store. Pull out cans of food, bread, etc.. and set up a little "store." Then one person is the sales person/Cashier and the other is the shopper. She had a little grocery cart, a stroller will work.. Then the cashier also bags up the groceries .. Then you switch places.

We played restaurant, one person was the waitress and the chef, the other was the customer. She would make up a "Menu" first.

Puzzles,, even the ones she has done a million times. Have her do 2 at the same time.. then 3.
Or putt he puzzle together using only the blank side.

Draw a big map on the back of some wrapping paper and let her "drive" her cars on the roads. You can roll it up and reuse it over and over again.

Let her button all of dads shirts that are hanging on hangers.

Mix together inside a clear plastic jar (Plastic baby bottle will work)of dry elbow noodles, assorted colored buttons, charms, coins, and other small items. Seal it up and have her "search" for pennies, the red button, the star.. etc..

I will try to remember more.

I see a couple of people already recommened playdough. Instead of buying playdough really consider making it, your daughter can even help. It is easy & lasts a long time. The other advantages are that it doesn't stink like storebought and doesn't seem as messy to me (it's much easier to get out of carpet, etc.). Anyway, I can not speak highly enough of HOMEMADE playdough! It has saved my sanity many times over. It is AWESOME!!! It worked for both of my girls, kept them entertained for a while. I think she'll love it :0)

Google a recipe for it. I use the stove top version because it lasts a lot longer than the no-cook version and has a better texture. I use the one that calls for cream of tarter (you can find it in the regular grocery store in the spice section, it comes in a small container). I keep the playdough in a ziplock bag or a small plastic container when we're not using it. You can add color with food coloring (they even have neon food coloing) or KoolAid (don't buy generic as it won't have the same affect) or not add any color at all. The Koolaid playdough is neat because it is scented :0)

We play with it at the kitchen table on a plastic place mat & I give my daughter a rolling pin + cookie cutters. She also has TONS of play dough accessories.

Just be warned: never put it down your sink! Some people think it isn't turning out while on the stovetop (it is but initially it looks like it isn't) so they stick it down their sink and it clogs it.

Edited to Add: I forgot to mention a couple of things....

This is a GREAT activity for strenghting the small muscles in their hands, it will come in handy when they start to write in school. So your working on her prewriting skills :0)

Also, it's a GREAT sensory experience (esp. if using KoolAid for the scent) and you can give it to them to play with either warm, cold, or room temp to create different experiences. You can also add a bit more salt to change the texture a bit, makes it more grainy but as the playdough gets older it tends to get grainer anyway which is okay because it gives them a different texture to work with.

I am completely okay with a TV day every now and then. You will get a lot of people who don't agree with that, but I do.

How about putting your baby in the swing and coloring or doing stickers with your daughter? Playdo?

Put the baby down for tummy time and have a reading hour (or half hour). Put pillows and blankets down and let her choose the books.

I really think at that age they just aren't sure 'how' to play alone. Sit down and play with her for a few mins then tell her you are going to do X and then she will slowly learn to play by herself for longer periods of time.

Take a few toys she has not played with in awhile and put them in a box (or if they are smaller toys, wrap them in foil). Give her the box (or toys in foil in a bag) and let her go through and pick a few out to play with.

Give her shaving cream and put her in the tub and let her play with that in there (with water or without).

If it's not lightening and the baby is asleep, take her outside and play in the rain with her for a few minutes. Then come inside and have cocoa or soup.

Any errands you need to do where they can stay in the car? Gas, drive through bank, drive through pharmacy, drive though restaurants? Just to get out of the house?

Will she sit through an entire movie? Do you have any movie theaters close that have 'cheaper' rates for certain days of the week?

What about a bounce house place (Monkey Joes, Pump It Up). Put baby in a sling or carseat/stroller and walk around with her.

Have her make a card for the next person's birthday that you have in your lives (friends, family, etc).

We watch movies and make popcorn, lol, Im interested to hear your anwsers, because I can never think of enough things to fill the day without tv.

I always had quiet time - from 1 -3 in the afternoon. They could read or nap or play quietly in their rooms.
On rainy days, we sometimes put on rainboots and rain coats and went out splashing in puddles. We've made mudpies.
We've done painting, playdough, made cookies, decorated cupcakes, made lego creations, and gone to the library...
I've done a movie day -- everyone needs those! The best is to do movie day all day in your pajamas!!!
YMMV

I think an entire tv day for a 2 year old is too much. You really do need to train her to play on her own, and not need tv or mom to entertain her. You shouldn't have played with her 24/7 at any point, kids need to learn to amuse themselves. I wasn't a SAHM, but I did get my kids in a safe area or their room with toys to teach them to play on their own. If she doesn't love toys, give her your tupperware, old magazines, paper and crayons, socks, whatever you can think of to keep her amused, but let her learn how to play on her own rather than being plopped in front of the tv whenever she can't have mom's attention.

Put beans or rice into your two year old's little socks (extras, not the ones she has on), tie them off and make little bean bags that are just the right size for her baby hands. Let her practice throwing them in a laundry basket.

Give her a banana, peeled, and a plastic knife or spoon and let her cut it up for her snack.

Cut open paper sacks or use the back side of wrapping paper, tape it to the wall and let her color on it with crayons. If it's the paper bag, you can use chalk, too.

Let her give her baby dolls a bath, using your biggest pot or roasting pan and water and a wash cloth.

Make edible finger paints out of jello with a little bit of water to get it to the right consistency and let her finger paint.

Let her dye eater eggs even though it isn't easter. Use the eggs to let her help you make devilled eggs or egg salad and crush up the colored shells so she can use them with paper and glue to make a collage.

Bubbles are always fun.
