Toddlers
Activities for Toddlers.
Toddler play is physical, repetitive and short. Containers, lids, holes to post things through, water, and anything that can be carried across a room and put down somewhere unhelpful.
Setting up matters more than the idea. A low table, a shallow tray, a towel underneath and a small quantity of whatever it is will do more for how the activity goes than the activity itself.
Everything is a mouthing risk at this stage. Each activity says what to watch, and the ones with small parts are marked clearly.
