Play 1yr-2yr
For toddlers aged 1 to 2 years, learning through music, play, and activities involves more active exploration and interaction. Here are some ideas:
Music
-
Sing-Along Songs: Encourage your toddler to sing along with simple, repetitive songs like "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star" or "Old MacDonald Had a Farm."
-
Musical Instruments: Provide toy instruments like drums, tambourines, and maracas to explore rhythm and sound.
-
Music and Movement: Play music and encourage your child to dance, clap, and move to the beat.
Play
-
Pretend Play: Use simple props like toy food, dolls, cars, action figures or stuffed animals to engage in imaginative play.
-
Building Blocks: Provide large, safe blocks for stacking and building to develop motor skills and creativity.
-
Outdoor Play: Spend time outside with activities like chasing bubbles, playing with a ball, or exploring a playground.
Activities
-
Reading Together: age-appropriate books with colorful pictures, simple stories, and interactive elements like flaps or textures.
-
Art and Craft: Introduce crayons, finger paints, and playdough for creative expression and fine motor development.
-
Simple Puzzles: Offer puzzles with large pieces and simple images to improve problem-solving skills and hand-eye coordination.
These activities help toddlers develop language, motor skills, social skills, and cognitive abilities through fun and engaging experiences.
