My apologies. I was taking your comments and running with them. I  
hadn't realized that you were talking specifically about a toddler.

So, what are the concerns with/about toddlers in the SCA? What  
activities can they do? I'll assume that a parent is always within  
easy reach.

What is the dividing line between "baby/infant" and "toddler"? I  
probably do have some useful info in this Florilegium file on infants,  
but it is probably more aimed at keeping them safe at camping events  
because many parents are new to camping, much less infants.

I assume giving permanent markers to toddlers is a bad thing? :-)   
They're not period, anyway.
