Play Activities for Toddlers
Cleaning off my desk the other day, I found a paper titled, "Play Activities for Toddlers". I have no idea where it came from or who to give credit to, but it's a great list for those, "What can we do now?" moments. What better time to share these ideas than here at the New Year when many of us may feel like we should make it more of a priority to spend quality time with our children. Figuring out good ways to play with toddlers isn't as easy as with a talkative preschooler, so here's the list with age-appropriate interests and play ideas for toddlers. Leave a comment and tell us how your baby likes to play!
At This Age: Toddlers Like to:
12-15 months crumple and toss paper
fill containers and dump the contents
roll objects down hills and inclines
turn light switches on and off
play with flashlights
poke objects into play dough
play and sing action songs and rhymes
12-18 months paint with edible finger paints
(i.e. pudding, Cool Whip)
play in sand and water
push and pull toys (such as trains and cars)
scribble with crayons
look at and talk about books,
family photos, catalogs
put objects into holes
roll a ball
nest objects (stack them one inside the other)
put large hand-held objects (like blocks) into holes
15-18 months play hide-and-seek
play with finger puppets

(like an alarm clock)

mashing potatoes, smelling spices,
and adding premeasured ingredients

follow simple directions
(Get the ball. Touch your nose.)
Ask questions that require one-word answers
(Who's that?)
As always, you can ask your child's teachers or in the office for creative play and learning ideas. We're here to help you and your child however we can!
