February Activities for Toddlers

Toddlers are so busy learning and exploring! This is an age where children have discovered their independence as well as their own learning style. Some children like to sit back to watch and observe, and might be averse to messy play, whereas, others might love to dive right into to play and activities making them 100% their own.

These February activities for toddlers include something for everyone, from messy play to simple arts and crafts, many involving hearts or a love and friendship theme, as this is one close to a toddlers heart.

Many of these are in our printable February calendar of activities for toddlers and preschoolers, which requires a password to print from our Exclusive Content for Subscribers page (if you already have your password for that page, go ahead and grab it from there, or sign up in the February calendar post to get yours!)

Why are Hands-On Activities so Beneficial to Kids?

Activities for toddlers are best when hands-on, experiential learning is encouraged! When children touch, smell, hear, and engage all the senses, they can remember information much better.

Tell me and I forget,

teach me and I remember,

involve me and I learn.

-Benjamin Franklin

What can I expect developmentally from my kids?

 

At this age (2-3), toddlers are:

  • developing language skills
  • recognizing and understanding emotions
  • developing motor skills like running and jumping
  • tuning fine motor skills like pincer grasp, cutting, and holding a pencil
  • beginning to engage in pretend and imaginative play
  • sorting and classifying colors and shapes
  • and so much more!

How fun is it to be able to encourage and foster all of this through play?!
