When your children reach the age of two you will notice they like to stand on tip toes, throw balls and kick them forward.
A two year old walks, runs, climbs and walks up and down stairs alone. And they love to dig. Growing up I loved to dig in the mud and make mud pies; I probably ate some too!
A toddler will love to take things apart and put them back together and it is a good idea to have several age appropriate children’s wooden toys available to give them safe things to take apart.
Your toddler will try to assert themselves by often saying “No” - providing open-ended games and wooden kids toys will help keep them busy and provide more playtime where they won’t need to say “no”.
A two year old will begin to play simple pretend games and they will want to imitate you while you are in the kitchen preparing a meal. Here I would like to suggest a children’s wooden toy such as play food cutting set.
While you are getting out your food and pots and pans they can get their wooden box (included in the toy) and take out their own vegetables and wooden knife. While you are cutting up your own vegetables your toddler will have several of his own vegetables to cut up.
You will have a great time preparing your families’ meal and your toddler will be learning new skills as you work and talk together.
