Make a few sets of matching picture cards. Use clear pictures of things that are familiar to your toddler, such as two pictures of the same dog or two of the same cup. Put one card from each pair where the child can see them. Then help the child find the matching pictures and put them on top of their mates. Make a necklace.
Children love to make something they can wear.
Using yarn, string, or a shoelace, your child can make a necklace out of Cheerios, Fruit Loops, pasta, or any other non-toxic item that is not too small for them to choke on. We all know how much children generally love to play in the bathtub. Your child can have a similar experience with a simple dishpan, some small plastic toys, water, and a little food coloring. Try this with your child. You can pretend the toys are swimming at the beach, etc. 5.
