Toddler Activity Cards

These activity cards are a tool you can use to facilitate your child’s play, and to be handy to refer to during this time. Most of the activities in the cards use simple materials that you already have around your house and require just a small amount of preparation to pull together. To use the cards, simply sit near your child on the floor and observe them as they play and, depending on what your child chooses to play with, grab a card that you think is appropriate and do the suggested activity with them. They were designed for a child between the age of one and three years old, although some of the activities may be suitable for slightly younger or older children depending on their individual development. If you find the activities are consistently too challenging for your child, wait a little while and try them again. If you find they are too easy your child may be ready for early preschool activities.
