]]> Teach your Toddler the Concept of Closer and FartherThis is one of Little Dude’s favorite activities right now (at 2 years-old). He gets to run around and hunt for something while learning the concepts of closer and farther. (I thought about using “hot” and “cold”, but it seemed more useful to use real concepts.)

To do this activity…
Pick a small toy or stuffed animal and explain that you are going to hide it. The trick is to hide it without them watching. Then, have them find it. As they get farther, make your voice quieter as you say, “Farther…farther…farther”. As they get closer, speak louder as you say, “Closer…CLOSER…CLOSER!!!”.

Your volume will give them clues as they learn the concepts of closer and farther.

]]> Toddler Car Maze ActivityTo be honest, this activity took a bit of a different turn once I got into it. It started off with me putting masking tape on the carpet to create a path for Edison to follow. As I put the tape down, he pointed to where he wanted the next road to go.

Then, I realized a few things. First, it would take ungodly amounts of masking tape to make the road that Edison obviously had in his head. Second, the tape was about the same width as a toy car.

So,I got out some green and red construction paper and made a little green sign for Start and a red sign for Stop. The directions are so obvious, that I don’t feel like I need to write them out.

After a couple of times, Edison moved the signs around to different parts of the maze and made his own little game.

]]> First Words: Deluxe is one of our favorite toddler iPad apps. My son loves it because it makes sounds and has bright pictures of objects he recognizes. I love it because he has so much fun learning the alphabet, pre-reading skills, and vocabulary. Plus, every time he plays, his fine motor skills improve. I love it! What a great toddler iPad app!

The game is simple. The screen shows a word with a picture and then your toddler drags letters onto the word to spell it. When your toddler is finished, the picture makes a noise and moves so that they know they did it right. I am not doing it justice. You just have to try it out yourself. All I know is that my son can happily spend an hour playing this toddler app, and that is worth its weight in gold.
