Nothing is more important to a child than play. As the medium through which they explore, learn, and discover the world, it is essential that parents help kids embrace the power of play at home too.
Here are three fun and educational activities for toddlers at home that you can try today.
1. Scavenger Hunt
Children love scavenger hunts, and the best part is this game is easily adaptable to different age groups. When designing educational activities for three-year-olds at home, use animals, shapes, and basic objects — just make it more complex the older your child is.
2. Songs and Music
You may not think it, but songs have incredible educational potential. Get your little ones singing along to songs that help them memorize numbers, colors, and rhymes to boost their phonetic abilities and general knowledge. Blend music with educational games for kids at home.
3. Garden Cultivation
If you have access to a garden or shared allotment, introduce your kids to the power of plants. Gardens are a lesson in nutrition, science, responsibility, and patience, teaching them endless transferable skills. No garden? Grow herbs or flowers in a planter box at home!
