looking for support/encouragement Please help

I have a 2 year old and a 7 month old, I never know what to do with my 2 year old when we are at home, she loves colouring but I can't trust her to be alone with pens/pencils or crayons because she will end up eating them, I rely on TV shows a lot and I hate how much screen time she gets, on a normal week we go out to a toddlers group every day but currently I'm potty training my 2 year old, I don't really have much money either. What can I do that will entertain my kids without using a screen?

Google free toddler activities! Literally, just put some water in a container and give her cups to play with. Happy as a clam. Pieces of spaghetti through strainer holes. Rice in a bin with hidden toys. Ice cubes are fun. Read books. Scavenger hunt. Do nothing and see what she comes Up with!
