What can I do with my two year old all day?



3. Read Books

Have time each day for enjoying books.

* reading quietly in bed before the wake up song begins the day with hugs and tickles

* individual reading time after 1 each day - start with 1 - 2 mins and build up to 10 - 15 mins

* enjoying snuggly one-to-one reading time just before naps each day

* have a sibling  'read'  to another sibling

* have a book or two in room play each day

* have books available during free play times

* plastic books are great for bath time play

* family reading times

* audio and interactive books

*sticker and activity books

What can I do with my two year old all day?






2. Enjoy table play.

Having one or two short times of 'sitting' play each day
will help your child develop focusing and concentrating skills.
They will be cultivating self-control and many fine motor skills too.


* playdoh

* sticker books

* wooden puzzles

* pegs

* crayons

* books

* farm or zoo animals

* mini keyboard

* duplo

* stacking toys

. . . and many more!
