Health Tip: Help Your Toddler Develop Needed Skills
By LadyLively on November 18, 2015
Toddlers are in the midst of developing muscle strength, concentration, creativity and spatial awareness.
To help give these factors a boost, the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends:
- encouraging building with blocks and pegboards,
- stringing large beads,
- coloring with crayons and chalk,
- working large, simple jigsaw puzzles of four or five pieces,
- pouring water to and from containers of different sizes,
- building sand castles,
- playing dress-up with dolls, changing outfits with snaps, laces and zippers.
