Social-Emotional Development

Who’s In My Family? Book 

Create a photo album, Binder Book to show your toddler who is their family. You can include pages for immediate and extended, grandparents, siblings, cousins, aunts, uncles, and friends who are like family. The possibilities are endless!

Work with your toddler to match the top and bottom half of each community helper. Discuss what they do to help the community, how they keep us safe, what they wear, and how they get around town.

Skills to Practice: Community Awareness and Understanding, Math – Relational understanding

Extended Learning: Pretend or Dress up Play. Children learn best by doing. Act out what community helpers do. Pretend to be doctors, farmers, firefighters! This play will teach your toddler about empathy and how to want to help others.

Language Development

Mail a Letter

Take the time to write a letter and draw a picture for someone special; a grandparent, a far away friend, the mailman! Have the toddler ‘write’ the address and then add a label with the correct spelling.

Go to the store for a stamp. (If possible.) Have your toddler pay for and place the stamp on the envelope. Walk to the mailbox and enjoy a conversation about how it gets from one place to the next.

Skills to Practice: Fine Motor – Tool Use, Literacy – Early writing concepts

Extended Learning: Collect your mail with your toddler. Sort flyers from pieces of mail. Go through the flyers and point out some items of interest. Make a grocery list.

Physical Literacy

Community Adventure

Go for a family walk around the neighbourhood. This is a perfect opportunity to practice street safety and learn more about their community.

Learn street safety – (Stop at driveways and corners/ walk on the sidewalk, not people’s grass/ treat the sidewalk like a road, stick to one side/ Don’t touch people’s pets without asking…)
Point out street signs. Notice their shapes
Point our community resources, community helpers, neighbour’s homes, and other areas of interest (ex. Library, a large clock, lawn ornaments.)
Notice nature – the breeze on your faces, the flowers in gardens, puddles on the ground

Skills to Practice: Regulating Attention, Safety skills, Social mannerism

Extended Learning: Play “I Spy” with things you notice in your neighbourhood

Creative Activity

Painting with Cars

What is Needed: Mini Cars, Paint, Paper

Dip the car wheels in the paint and let the adventures begin. Your toddler will enjoy wheeling the car around and seeing the colours fly across the page and mix together making new colours.

Skills to Practice: Sensory and Imaginative Play, Cognitive – Concentration, Attention to Detail

Extended Learning: Add texture to the paint (sand, grains, seeds, oats.) Does the painting experience feel different? Does it make a bumpy road?
