2-Year-Olds
Activities for 2-year-olds.
Two is the age of doing the same thing again. Filling and tipping out, posting things through holes, squashing, banging, carrying objects from one room to another with great seriousness. There is usually no product at the end and that is fine.
Five focused minutes is a real success. Anything that lasts longer is a bonus, and an activity being abandoned after two minutes is not a failure of the activity.
Almost everything goes in the mouth at this age, so small parts, dry rice and anything bead-sized need an adult sitting right there — the safety notes on each activity say which.
