Having and managing a baby at home can be quite a task unless you know how to keep them occupied and channelize their never-ending energy. Most moms with toddlers at home are always short of ideas and look quite exhausted unable to keep their little ones busy. So, here are some tips to get you started.
By the time kids turn 12, they have just learnt or are in the process of learning to walk. At the same time, they are also improving their communication skill. Therefore at this stage the most important thing is to be with them and engage them in simple activities that arouse their curiosity. You can use any of the following:
Use rattles, spoons, pots and pans, bells or anything that can make sound. This helps in coordination and listening skills.
You could use a cardboard box to make a house or a tunnel, make an entrance and an exit and make you child go in and come out. They will just love it and do it over and over again. You could even use a toy telephone or an old phone and pretend to have a conversation with each other or other imaginary people. That way they learn a little bit of social skills and gross motor skills.
As your little is beginning to start with those little words, he/she will love it when you count and play with their fingers and toes. That way they can slowly learn numbers and basics of counting. You can gradually move on from fingers to objects, stairs and so on. They’ll be all the more excited!
As your child grows up you can introduce activities and games that help them recognize and differentiate numbers and colors. At a pre-school stage, most children know basic alphabets and numbers. Here are some ideas to engage toddlers and aid their development as well:
At 2, your child understands much better and so you can engage them with very interesting activities. At this stage children experience more physical, social, intellectual and emotional changes that help them to explore the world around them better. Here are some learning activities for 2 years old for starters. You can tweak them according to your child’s interests.
With children around life is a roller coaster ride. They are full of energy and excitement every minute and as parents it is quite challenging to engage them in meaningful ways. Many parents complain that children as small as 2 spend time with gadgets. To prevent this, the only way is to get creative and think of ways to use things available at home to make your child play and learn at the same time. It is not difficult at all. All it requires is some patience and a dash of creativity. This can lead to endless fun and can help you bond very well with your children. Try these out and tell us which ones worked for you.
