From playing with friends to exploring their environment, toddlers are always moving and growing. Still, there are some ways to advance their development even further with some parental involvement. Here are some fundamental activities that will be sure to boost your child’s development.
Touching Textures
For your little one, touching, smelling, and tasting different textures helps them to make sense of the world around them. As a result, it’s a good idea to help them out by providing them with textures to feel such as sandpaper, cotton balls, and rubberized toys. In order to prepare your child to learn how to write, show them letters and let them trace them with their fingers to become familiar with the alphabet.
Organize the Home
By keeping your home organized, you’ll be able to help your child make better sense of their environment while also ensuring that they get into the habit of being organized themselves. Some ways you can do this is by putting labels on objects around the house and perhaps playing games where you ask your kids to place household items in their rightful homes.
Scavenger Hunts
Being natural explorers, your kid would surely enjoy embarking on a scavenger hunt in which they would uncover interesting items. In addition to being exciting, scavenger hunts help your child to identify shapes, colors, and the names of the prized items involved.
