Fun Activities that You Can Do with Your Toddler

We all want to keep our child productive whether they are at home or at school. We want them to be curious and to try new things as this is very helpful to their growth and development. Different activities help them develop their thinking skills and social skills.

There are different activities for your children out there but you are not really sure whether it suits their age or not. Renanim Preschool and Summer Camp, a preschool and daycare in Briarwood NY, promotes learning activities for your child without spending too much. We prepare them for the big world but at the same time, we let them enjoy their childhood.

We have come up with some of these activities that your child can do in school or at home. You can even play with them if you want to!

• Draw it with a sponge!
  This is an art activity the makes use of paint and sponge. This promotes creativity and the wide use of imagination on your child. You can use this as a post-class activity or you can use this to teach basic numbers and alphabets. You only need to prepare a huge white paperboard. You prepare three or four colors of paint and a good sponge. You can ask the child to draw a shape or write a particular number using a certain color. In this manner, you get to teach them basic shapes and numbers while familiarizing the basic colors. Your child will not get bored with this because it is very creative and fun. They can get messy but they will be able to unleash their new found creativity.
• Learning textures with Jello
  This is a sensory play that tests your child’s ability to feel and touch something. You can prepare a jello in advance and put them in containers with different shapes. You can ask your child to touch it first and let them describe their feeling. Since the jello is edible, you can have them eat it once they get the right answer. Some parents would prefer to cook the jello with their child as it is a way to bond too.
