Toddler Activities
By L.D. Mairet
Toddler activities are a great way to encourage development in your young child. Toddler lesson plans should be geared towards the age level of the child. When performed correctly, age appropriate toddler activities will help enhance your childs growth and development. You should prepare age appropriate lesson plans on a daily basis for proper interaction with your toddler.
When selecting the proper activities for your toddler, you should keep in mind several key factors of your child's development. Both fine and gross motor skills should be incorporated into your child's daily toddler activities. Fine motor skill focuses on small muscle groups for skills later in life such as writing and cutting, etc. Gross motor skills focuses on large muscle groups for things such as grasping, balancing, etc. Balancing these main ideas into your toddlers daily curriculum will help stimulate their learning experiences.
You should also select toddler activities that encourage learning through play, interaction, and adult modeling. Children learn best through play and it is also fun for them. Interacting with adults and other children help your toddler to develop the much needed social skills for later on in life. Modeling, is simply showing your child exactly what you want them to do. A toddler activity that could be modeled would be talking through the activity as you are doing it with your child. For instance, "Mommy is coloring the house red. Oh, look Hunter is coloring the house blue. I like the blue house that you are coloring."
When selecting toddler activities for your toddler and you, keep these main ideas in focus. The interaction that you spend with your child as a toddler will help them grow and develop into a healthy child. Have fun with your toddler and try to incorporate at least two to three toddler activities per day into their daily routine.
