Toddler Basics

Here are a list of ideas from Teaching Tiny Tots that are appropriate for one year and up. Again some children may not be ready for all the activities but you will be surprised just how quickly they are learning at this age.

Also keep in mind that an activity at this age may be only 5 minutes! This will continue to increase if you are consistent with how you set up, and how often you engage in an any structured activity.

    We were so excited to start doing toddler activities with the girls that we started early practicing with the markers, crayons and glue sticks. By the time the girls were eighteen months they were able to complete simple arts and craft projects. Listed below are just a few examples that we did. I've taken pictures of many, many projects that were done at this age. I'll be posting more shortly.
