Activities for Toddlers
What do you do with a 2 year old?!
These activities are perfect for a toddler.
You'll find lots of fun toddler activities here from gross motor and physical activities to fine motor and pre-writing activities to fun sensory activities, and even some early learning activities!
You'll never have to wonder how to occupy your 2 year old again!
We have created a fun and simple week of activities that's perfect for toddlers (1-3 year olds) to enjoy.
Enter your email below to get the week of activities to do this week with your toddler.
In this week of toddler activities, you'll get a taste of what we provide inside The Activity Room.
While this week for you to download is sample week just for toddler, The Activity Room provides weeks of fun for 2-5 year olds, week after week, continually! The fun literally never ends!
We also provide an extra themed week of activities to our annual members that are committed for the entire year. So much fun to be had!
What age is a toddler?
I consider toddlers to be in the 1 to 3 year old age.
If you're looking for more advanced activities, they can be found in our preschooler activities (perfect for 3 to 5 year olds).
How do you occupy a 2 year old exactly?
First, go ahead and read the tips I have for doing activities with toddlers. They may seem simple, but they're almost necessary with this age group, and always a great reminder!
- Allow your toddler to explore whatever it is that you give them.
- Don’t do an activity with an intentional plan, it never works out with this age range.
- Expect a toddler to be interested, leave it out for them to come back to later, or even the next day.
- Plan for them to put it in their mouth if you have a mouther.
