- Round Up the Balls: Get outside and put different sized balls on the ground. Set down a hula hoop and have your toddler gather the balls and put them inside the hoop. Helps baby use visual, gross motor, and communication skills, sense of touch, and improve ability to follow directions.
- Play Chef: Play chef and have your toddler fill measuring cups with cheerios. Then let them serve you the snack. They won’t understand the different measurements, but scooping and dumping will be fun. Helps baby develop executive function, fine motor, and play skills.
