Toddlers love to use their emerging fine motor skills! 🖐️ It’s easy to keep those little hands busy by using everyday household items.⁠⁣ ⁠⁣ For an easy DIY activity around 15-20 months, gather small, colorful sticks and a container with a soft plastic lid (reusing an oatmeal container is a great idea!) that you can cut holes into. ⁠⁣ ⁣ The motion of pushing the sticks through the holes helps strengthen the small muscles that control the hand, fingers and thumb.👌 This strength and dexterity is essential for future tasks like writing, feeding oneself and buttoning! ✍️⁠⁣ ⁠⁣ #lovevery #loveverybaby #loveverytoddler #playtime #learningthroughplay #playtolearn #babysubscriptionbox #toddlersubscriptionbox #playkits #earlylearningprogram #sustainabletoys #babyeducation #toddlereducation #babydevelopment #toddlerdevelopment #smartbaby #smarttoddler #strongbaby #strongtoddler #babytoys #toddlertoys #educationaltoys #learningtoys #babymilestones #toddlermilestones #babyplay #toddlerplay #babyactivities #toddleractivities⁠

Children have an easier time understanding an object’s shape and use before they can comprehend color. So while your toddler might be able to place a triangle in the correct spot on a puzzle, they probably don’t know what color the triangle is.🔷 ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ 🤔 An easy way to help your toddler differentiate between shape and color is to use identical objects that are different colors, like this fun #DIY activity with popsicle sticks and felt pockets.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ The pockets can be created by using fabric glue along the edges of two felt squares. You can find popsicle sticks at most craft stores.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ At first, your toddler may be more focused on putting the sticks in the pockets and pulling them out. That’s great! They are strengthening those fine motor skills. 👌⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Eventually, you’ll be able to hand your child a green popsicle stick and provide direction such as “Can you place this stick that is green in the pocket that is green?”💚⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ You can introduce this around 15 months, and it’s a fun activity that grows with your little one.😊⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ #lovevery #loveverytoddler #playtime #learningthroughplay #playtolearn #toddlersubscriptionbox #playkits #earlylearningprogram #sustainabletoys #toddlereducation #toddlerdevelopment #smarttoddler #strongtoddler #toddlertoys #educationaltoys #learningtoys #toddlermilestones #toddlerplay #toddleractivities #toddlerlife

Reading to your baby not only establishes a love of reading, but those sweet bedtime stories help your baby’s brain develop! 📖⁠ ⁠ Most childhood development professionals believe reading to children in early infancy could lead to a higher IQ and more language fluency. 🧠⁠ ⁠ How? Books are a great way to expose your baby to new words that you might not commonly use! 💬⁠ ⁠ Books also introduce little ones to rhyming and rhythm, and different language structures than they usually hear. 👂⁠ ⁠ Even if your little one doesn’t show interest in books at first, keep reading to your baby every day. 📚⁠ ⁠ Your little one will begin to associate reading time with cozy time. Creating a habit of reading helps your baby develop a love of books, because your little one will associate it with being close to you and hearing your voice. ❤️⁠ ⁠ What’s your little one’s favorite book right now? ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #lovevery #loveverybaby #playtime #learningthroughplay #playtolearn #babysubscriptionbox #playkits #earlylearningprogram #playgym #woodenplaygym #babyplaygym #playmat #activitygym #activitymat #sustainabletoys #babyeducation #babydevelopment #smartbaby #strongbaby #babytoys #educationaltoys #learningtoys #babymilestones #babyplay⁠
