Toddler Play

Toddler Play is very important to your child.

Through play, your toddler can try out different activities, roles, and things that are happening in his or her life.

Try out some of the activities below. Share with us what works for you.

• Role Playing
  Toddlers like to pretend to be firemen, policemen, postmen, construction workers, detectives, or other people whom they come in contact with in their daily lives. Reading a story about one of them and letting them act it out afterwards is a good way to reinforce what they have learned.
• Lacing Cards
  Create your very own personalized lacing cards with scraps.
• Create Your Own Storybook
  Have your child tell you a story. You write it down in his or her words. Then you draw the pictures to illustrate it even if it is just stick figures. It will probably become your child's favorite book to read later on. It is something you can enjoy as you create it and then later as you read it together.
