A 2-3 year old. An active one. Take a ball and one other favorite toy and go to the park – or at least outside. They run around, wear themselves out and then you have a chance of keeping up with them. If you’re lucky, they find another kid to play with and all you (and the other parent/babysitter) have to do it keep a close eye on them.
