Toddler Play: Fine Motor Skills

Here's a fun game for toddler's to play, and all you need are drinking straws and an empty box!

Toddler Fun: Shape Game

We are learning about shapes constantly right now and my 2 year old insists on me drawing them whenever there's a crayon nearby, so I thought she would enjoy this little shape game I quickly made up:

Just cut out multiple shapes from construction paper and trace them onto a white piece of paper. We stuck with circles, triangles and squares.

Toddler Fun: Connect 4

One of the most requested activities around here by my 2 year old is to play Connect 4! Though she's far too young to grasp the rules/concept of the game, it provides perfect entertainment for her.

I love that while she is playing this game, she is working on her hand/eye coordination, and it's an easy way for me to work with her on colors by asking her to put in red or yellow pieces and to say the names with me. I can often get a few quick chores done while she's playing and it's easy to clean up.
