Walk into any children’s toy store and you are overwhelmed with hundreds of toys, games and outdoor equipment. A toddler has many skills to master, motor skills, socialising with others, developing basic skills such as number and color recognition, in preparation for school.
Try to provide a variety of toys to develop a wide range of skills including improving dexterity, social and emotional skills, creative skills.
Wooden jigsaw puzzles encourage observation as well as learning manipulation. Outdoor toys like tricycles, climbing frames, slides and playing football will develop physical ability.
Social skills can be developed through interaction with other children. Toddlers love creative activities. Books and storytelling should play a major part in a child’s learning.
Toddler Activity – Play and Learning with Blocks
Executive Summary on Toddler Play By Sherry Frewerd
To many parents, block play may not seem like a toddler learning activity, when in reality block play is a very important aspect of toddler learning. Through block activity, toddlers learn about weights, sizes, shapes and colors.
How can you add to your toddler’s block play to encourage further learning? Introduce easy props to your toddler’s block toy box.
Ideas for encouraging your toddler’s block play:
- After your toddler has built a block tower count the number of blocks that he has used.Show your toddler the difference in block sizes by helping him use different size blocks and build towers side by side.Provide a variety of blocks in your block box and let your toddler choose and sort the blocks they want to play with.
