✅8 Learning Activities for Toddlers

Not only will these learning activities keep your 2-year-old entertained, they'll also teach ABCs, 123s, and other basics.

The world serves as one big classroom for toddlers. "They love to master new concepts, so it's the perfect time to lay the foundation for future skills like reading and counting," says Erin Seaton, Ed.D., a lecturer in the department of education at Tufts University in Medford, Massachusetts. The key is to play off your child's interests. Here are eight fun learning activities for 2- year-olds that fit into everyday life.

✅1. Displaying Her Name
Around age 2, your child will begin to recognize the letters that make up her name, so be sure to display it throughout your home—on her bedroom door, a bathroom step stool, the fridge, etc. Point to the letters, saying each one out loud, suggests Dr. Seaton. Talk about other words that begin with the same letter as her name does ("C is for Caitlin, but it's also for cat and cup").

✅2. Reading Signs
Point out words and letters on street signs, in stores, and at the doctor's office, says Sherril English, an education professor at Southern Methodist University, in Dallas. Say them out loud ("That sign says stop"), and help your child think of other rhyming words ("Stop sounds like hop, bop, and mop"). To help your toddler connect letters to the sounds they make, speak slowly, enunciate clearly, and place your finger under the letters and words as you read.

✅3. Counting Everyday Items
Your 2-year-old may be able to recite the numbers one to ten in order, but the ability to truly count probably won't come until his preschool days, says Dr. Seaton. Still, you can bolster his number recognition by tallying up totals as you get him dressed ("One, two, three buttons"), prepare meals ("There are six peas on your plate"), and shop for groceries ("I have three potatoes, so I need one more to make four"). Use your fingers when counting, and encourage him to copy you with his fingers.

✅4. Separating Objects by Type or Color
The act of observing, comparing, and contrasting objects is a vital part of early mathematics, says Dr. Seaton. Fortunately, little kids are master sorters. In this learning activity for toddlers, ask your child to group his stuffed animals by type (cats in one pile, bears in another) or by color. See if he can separate your clean socks from his when you do the laundry, and have him put different-size spoons in their proper place in the silverware tray. Sometime before age 2, your child will also recognize the difference between less and more.

✅5. Making a Shape Book
Lots of children's titles teach kids about shapes, but you can go one better by helping your toddler make her own bound volume. After drawing shapes on a piece of paper, flip through magazines and newspapers together and cut out items that match each one, suggests English. Then go for a walk to look for other objects with distinctive shapes. Snap photos of the things your child points out—a square window, a round tire, a rectangular brick. Print out and paste the pictures into the book when you get home and label the shapes. Put multiple examples on a page to show that shapes come in different sizes.

✅6. Teaching Shapes in the Kitchen
Cookies needn't always be round, and not all sandwiches are square. Many favorite foods—pancakes, cheese slices, and bread—can be cut into triangles, squares, stars, ovals, diamonds, and more. Out of the kitchen, try letting your child trace shapes of cookie cutters onto a piece of paper, and then help her identify and label each one, recommends English.

✅7. Finger Painting for Color Recognition
For hands-on exposure to colors, let your child dip into finger paints as a fun learning activity for toddlers. Name the colors as he spreads each one. Once the masterpiece dries, you can go on a scavenger hunt around your home, looking for items that match the colors used in the picture. Talk about how there are many shades of colors—from pale sky blue to blue that's so dark it looks almost black.

✅8. Incorporating Colorful Language
Use descriptive language as much as possible to help your child recognize different colors ("Can you put this yellow ball into the blue bin?"). At mealtime ask, "Do you want more of the red apple or the yellow banana?" You can also try designating a day in honor of a color, says English. Wear green on Thursday and eat green grapes and green beans while drinking green-colored milk (a little food coloring will do the trick). Then, at the end of the day, let your child unwind in a bath tinted green with fizzy bath tablets.

✅5 ways to help set your child up for future succes

From embracing baby talk to taking play seriously - easy, effective and science-backed tips for every parent.

✅Parenting is considered one of the most difficult jobs in the world, but there’s no formal education available on how to parent successfully. The good news is there are many ways parents can stimulate their babies’ brains and use day-to-day events as exceptional learning opportunities.

✅1. Stimulate baby talk and treat it as real conversation
The sounds and gestures that babies make might not always seem like much, but it’s their only form of communication. Early childhood development scientists say we should stimulate baby talk and treat it as real conversation. Parents should respond to baby’s sounds, cues and actions and engage with them throughout the day. The number of words a baby is exposed to will determine the amount of words in a child’s vocabulary at age 2 and a child’s reading levels later. Take baby babble seriously and encourage it.

✅2. Read to your baby to exercise language
Babies might not be talking or reading yet but they’re born ready to learn. Even at 3 months of age, they can distinguish each sound used in every language in the entire world. Every time you read out loud to your baby, you are building language skills. Make sure to point to the pictures in the book and ask questions about the story and the characters. Simple questions like “what are they wearing?” and “how many are there?” will engage your child’s language skills. Reading to babies not only exposes them to new words but also creates a love for books and reading. Remember, leaders are readers, so why not start early?

✅3. Use everyday experiences as learning opportunities
For babies, each life experience is all about learning. Whether it’s bath time, sorting laundry, cooking or running errands, these activities are great learning moments. Narrate what you are doing to stimulate language. Count and sort laundry to teach maths and play with food ingredients and textures to promote scientific thinking. Making faces that show different emotions is a great way to teach emotional intelligence.

✅4. Take play seriously
Young children are learning all the time. When they play, they’re building important life skills. Make-believe play allows them to experience what it’s like to be someone else and understand others’ feelings. When they play with others, they’re learning to compromise and take turns. Engaging in imaginative free play, like pretending a toy train can travel through space, sparks creativity and language as they learn to verbally express their ideas. When they imagine new worlds, young children are learning to problem solve and create new possibilities. What seems like just fun is actually very important work. Take play seriously because play is serious learning. Avoid being on your device in front of your child too often. Research shows that makes children feel less important.

✅5. Lead by example
Babies are genius impersonators. They pick up on everything they see you do. Until they talk, they become experts at reading faces and non-verbal attitudes and learn to mimic them. By watching your body language, how you treat others or how you react to a challenge, babies will adopt these attitudes and actions themselves. The way you act around your baby shapes the person they will become.

Include these five critical behaviours in your day and you’ll dramatically improve your baby’s chances to thrive in the future. Giving your child the best tools for future success has nothing to do with money or extravagant learning resources. It has everything to do with you, your time and level of engagement.
