I get so many requests for alphabet and ABC activities for toddlers that's it's about time I put a collection together! These play based, educational ABC activities are perfect for 2 and 3 year olds who are keen to start exploring their letters.  

If you are looking for ABC activities for toddlers, you'll love this great collection of over 50 fun, hands on, play based ABC and alphabet activities. When it comes to teaching toddler the alphabet, the emphasis should be on play. At 2 and 3 years old, there is no requirement for toddlers to know their alphabet, but they are naturally curious and love to learn through play. We have previously explored counting activities for toddlers using the same play based approach. Toddlers also learn their letters though incidental learning. This is where they see letters in everyday life - at the shops, in their books, on signs etc. The easiest way to start teaching letters is to begin learning to recognize the first letter of their name. You'll be amazed how excited they will get when they see this on signs around the place! Remember, the activities below are designed t be fun, and part of regular toddler play.

Educational activities for children 2–3 years old

At the age of two or three years, a child actively explores the world around him, learns to talk and communicate with adults and peers. During this period, his personality begins to form. Therefore, parents need to pay special attention to the development of speech, thinking, social skills.

Contents of the article:

• Classes for the development of logical and mathematical thinking
• Lessons for the development of speech
• Gross and fine motor activities
• Classes on the study of the properties of objects
• Getting to know the outside world
• Output

Classes for the development of logical and mathematical thinking

The thinking of two and three year olds is clearly effective. The ability to think logically implies the ability to analyze, compare and generalize. You can develop logic and teach your little one basic math skills with the help of the following exercises.

✅Comparison

Take a handful of buttons or other small items and divide them into two unequal piles. The child must determine which pile has a lot of buttons, and which has few. If he does not see the difference between the concepts of "a lot and a little", explain to him what it is.

The second variation of this exercise is the value comparison. Take several objects or toys of different sizes. Ask the baby to show where the small objects are and where the large ones are.

✅Score

Children at the age of two or three are not yet familiar with numbers. It is better to master the counting skill on surrounding objects or on the fingers. Teach your child to show his age on his fingers, tell him how old he will be in a year, two, three.

It is convenient to use counting sticks or any other items for counting. Climbing the stairs with your child, count the steps, passing houses - windows, walking along the alley - trees or lampposts.

✅ Hidden Object

Hide the toy in the room and ask your baby to find it. Help him by suggesting places to search - under the sofa, behind the armchair, in the closet, etc. Then you can switch roles - the child hides the toy, and you are looking for it.

Speech development classes

Between the ages of two and three, children experience a significant leap in speech development. Their vocabulary is replenished very quickly. Having become acquainted with a new word, children bring it into their vocabulary and begin to actively use it. Simple exercises will help develop speech skills.

✅Reading

The best way to develop speech is reading. Buy picture books for 2-3 year olds. Choose poems, fairy tales, nursery rhymes. It is useful for a child to listen to both prose and poetry.

When reading a fairy tale, ask your child questions about the plot. If he finds it difficult to answer, help him. Explain the meaning of each unknown word. Look at the illustrations in the book and discuss with your child.

✅Singing

This fun activity encourages speech development and voice training. Sing with your baby children's songs with and without musical accompaniment. Children quickly memorize rhyming lines and a motive, and sing along with adults with pleasure.

✅Composing proposals

Think of the beginning of a sentence and ask your child to continue it. For example, "Mom bought today in the store ..." or "Black runs down the street ...".

✅ Discuss the events of the day

Discuss the events with your child every day. For example, “You and I went to the park today and fed the ducks in the pond. And in the evening, my grandmother came to visit and brought a delicious pie, ”etc. If the baby goes to kindergarten, ask him to tell you how the day went, what he did, what interesting things happened.

✅Describing objects

Take an object and ask the child to describe it, asking leading questions (What color is it? Is it big or small? What does it look like? What is it for? etc.).

At the age of 2–3, children still do not pronounce words well, many of them abbreviate and distort. Be sure to correct your child when they speak incorrectly. Of course, he still does not know how to pronounce all the sounds, so a clear pronunciation will not work. But still, try to teach the baby to speak as correctly as possible.

Classes for the development of attention

At such an early age, attention is involuntary. This means that the child does not yet know how to concentrate it by willpower. His attention is attracted by what is of interest (a bright toy, the sound of music, people around him). Attention, like other mental processes, can and should be developed.

✅Search for an object

Take a picture with a story and ask the child to find a certain object or character in it. The same exercise can be performed outdoors. Ask the baby to show a flower, a red car, a cat, a girl in a green jacket, etc.

✅Similar Detection

Take an object, such as a book, and ask the baby to look around the room for things similar in shape to her. It can be a phone, a tablet, a picture on the wall. You can search for objects that are similar not in shape, but in color, size and other features.

✅Finding the Missing Item

Take some toys, arrange them on the table and ask your child to look at them carefully and memorize them. Then he should turn away or leave the room, and at this time you remove one toy. The task of the child is to determine which toy has disappeared.

Classes for the development of gross and fine motor skills

Finger motor skills are directly related to cognitive processes - speech, memory, thinking. Therefore, it needs to be developed. There are many exercises for this.

✅ Games with small objects

Invite your child to sort the buttons by size, string large beads on a string, roll the balls in his hands. Be careful not to put a small object in your mouth, nose, or ear.

✅Construction set and jigsaw puzzle

Buy your child a construction kit or jigsaw puzzle for kids and build with him. This exciting activity strengthens the small muscles of the hand, makes the fingers more dexterous, trains attention and imagination.

✅Sculpting

Sculpt with your child various figures from clay, plasticine or salt dough. To make the lesson more interesting and exciting, read a fairy tale or watch a cartoon, and then try to make a character you like.

✅Finger games

Not only babies love to play finger games. Toddlers aged two or three love them too. Teach your baby to fold fingers into different shapes:

• fold your thumb and forefinger into a ring and bring it to your eyes - you get glasses, and if you use all your fingers - binoculars;
• clench the hand into a fist and stick out the index finger and little finger - these are the horns of a goat;
• "Step" with your index and middle fingers on the table, representing the legs.

Invite your child to show their imagination by inventing and putting together unusual shapes from their fingers.

Gross motor skills are developed by ball games, cycling, jumping, wall bars and any physical activity. Teach your child to fasten and unfasten buttons, Velcro, hooks on clothes, put on and take off things on their own.

Classes for the development of intellectual abilities

Reading, music, creative work, solving logical and mathematical problems contribute to the development of the baby's intellect.

✅Drawing

Invite your child to draw a house, himself, mother. Set a theme for the picture, tell the child what details can be added to it. For example, a house can be surrounded by trees, the sun and clouds can be depicted in the sky.

✅ Role-playing games

Make up a story, choose the right toys and play it out with your baby. For example, a doll is sick: you need to put her to bed, take her temperature, give her medicine in a spoon.

✅Music

Listening to classical music has a positive effect on the mental development of children, and also brings up a sense of beauty in them. It is useful not only to listen to music, but also to dance to it. This has a positive effect on both mental and physical development.

✅Puzzles

Collecting puzzles trains attention, thinking, memory. Buy your child large puzzles with a small amount of detail and a clear image. First collect them together with the baby, and then invite him to do it on his own.

✅Sorting items

Shuffle the cards with different items and ask the child to sort them into categories, eg vegetables, fruits, clothes, furniture.

✅Riddles

Riddles are good for training the intellect. The main thing is to select tasks that are age-appropriate and understandable to the child.

✅Sunny bunny

On a clear day you can play with sun bunnies. Take a mirror and start letting bunnies on the ceiling, floor, walls. Then give the mirror to the child and let him try it himself. Coordinate his movements, suggesting how to catch a ray of the sun and direct it in the right direction.

Classes to study the properties of objects

Learning the properties of various objects develops the thinking of the baby, helping him to understand how and for what this or that thing can be used.

Teach your child to compare objects according to the following criteria:

• size - big, small, tall, low, long, short;
• state - hard, soft, liquid, warm, cold;
• shape - round, square, rectangular, etc.;
• color.

Anything can be used as a "learning tool".

• Pour cold water into one glass and warm tea into another and ask your child how they differ (color, temperature, taste).
• Sew a few fabric bags (you can use old socks) and fill them with sand, beans, small stones, balls, etc. Let the child try to feel what is in each bag.
• Buy a sorter - a special container with slots in the form of different geometric shapes and a set of matching inserts. The task of the child is to choose the right figure for each hole.
• Invite the baby to feel different materials - leather, fur, silicone, wood. Let him tell you how they differ (fluffy fur, smooth skin, etc.).

Getting to know the outside world

The scope for exploring the outside world is very wide:

• Animals. Tell your child which animals are domestic and which are wild, in what conditions they live, what their cubs are called. If you have the opportunity to visit the zoo, be sure to do it.
• Plants. On a walk, pay your baby's attention to the trees, flowers, shrubs growing around. Tell us what they are called, which ones are fruit. Collect the leaves and look at them with your baby.
• Natural phenomena. Tell your child about different natural phenomena, the change of seasons and the weather. By the age of three, the baby should already know the name of the seasons and their main features.
• Materials. Tell your child about the materials from which various things are made (wood, metals, fabrics, paper, plastic).

At the age of two or three years, learning takes place in the form of a game. The main thing is to interest the child, and then he will be happy to study. Try to spend as much time as possible with the baby, do not dismiss his questions, but always answer them.

Invite the baby to help with the housework, give him small tasks (bring bread to the table, pour food for the cat, put away toys). Daily activities contribute to the development of independence and discipline.

1. Smart Books series, Olga Zemtsova. Makhaon Publishing House

The "Smart Books" series is a whole set of educational aids for preschool children, and the series includes both educational aids and various collections of tests so that parents can keep track of what skills the child still needs to be developed. Together with "Smart Books" children develop speech and memory, learn to draw with their hands and fingers, master the concepts of "up-down" and "left-right", learn to find differences, get acquainted with numbers and letters, broaden their horizons. The goal of the Smart Books project is to comprehensively develop the child and prepare him for school in a timely manner, because the series is designed for children from 1 to 6 years old.

The series is aimed at developing all basic skills and includes 7 courses (one per year) of 12 books each. Benefits are issued with large, bright at the same time simple pictures, so kids really like it. In addition, the manuals include time-tested assignments, as well as parent pages that explain the scheme of work in detail. It is worth considering only one nuance: not all books in the course are equally in demand; therefore, many mothers agree that it makes no sense to purchase the “School of the Seven Dwarfs” in full sets.

4.

The series includes annual courses, each of which contains benefits for the development of precisely those areas that are most relevant for the age of the baby. So, for example, in the course for one-year-olds you will find aids for modeling, drawing and speech development, as well as reusable brochures for developing creative skills and detailed instructions for parents.

6. Series "We're talking right." Rosmen Publishing House

7.

Kumon is an international brand originally from Japan, behind which today there is a whole network of educational centers around the world, a unique method of learning mathematics and teaching reading, as well as a series of developmental notebooks, which 4 million children study. The main principle of the benefits is to provide exercises in a playful way that is as attractive as possible for the child, so that the learning process does not become tedious for him. In addition, all exercises are given in a strict sequence “from simple to complex”, the load level increases so gradually that the child does not even notice it. Each age has its own set of notebooks: there are manuals for kids 2-4 years old, there are manuals for teenagers. With Kumon notebooks, preschoolers learn to draw, glue, cut, navigate mazes and more.

“Kumon” series for children from 2 years old : “Let's draw” (2 issues), “Let's glue” (4 issues), “Let's cut” (4 issues), “Let's add pictures” (2 issues)

Kumon Series for 2-4 year olds : Simple Lines, Magic Lines, Simple Mazes, Learn to Color, Learn to Cut

8.

Another Japanese series of educational aids - and also very popular. The tasks and the principle of their presentation are in many ways similar to Kumon, so the series are considered almost identical. It is curious that pupils of state kindergartens in Japan are currently studying Gakken notebooks - and there they certainly monitor the quality of preschool education. Therefore, feel free to purchase bright illustrated manuals with very cute characters on the covers - and develop the skills of coloring, drawing, passing mazes and creating applications with your baby.

“Gakken” series for children 2-4 years old : “Do it yourself and learn”, “Labyrinths”, “Learn to think”, “My first lesson”, “My first application”, “My first pencil”, “ Account, 1st step»

9. Series «Gifted child. Korean Teaching Methods. Eksmo Publishing House

Did you know that South Korea is one of the top five countries in terms of school performance? It is not surprising that their method of preschool and school education has become very popular. Take note of the Gifted Child series, the so-called “Korean” series. Its peculiarity is in the desire to simultaneously develop 3 main types of thinking of the child: logical (what we traditionally call the word "intelligence"), emotional (the child's ability to work with his own and others' emotions) and creative (imagination, mental flexibility, the ability to think outside the box) . At the same time, all tasks for all types of thinking are presented in a fun way, with a lot of stickers, and bright illustrations complement the image of a boring but effective manual. The series is designed for children from 1 to 7 years old. And remember: South Korean educators believe that any child can be developed to the level of a gifted child, you just need to create a favorable environment.

In the series for children 1-2 years old : “Mathematical thinking. Annual course”, “Mathematical thinking. Annual course. Advanced level”

In the series for children 2-3 years old : “I am learning to think”, “I am developing logic”, “I am developing attention”; "Logical thinking", "Creative thinking", "Emotional thinking"; “Mathematical thinking. Annual course”, “Mathematical thinking. Annual course. Advanced level”

10. A series of workbooks “I can!”. Publishing house "I can!"

The series appeared relatively recently, but immediately won a place in the hearts of preschoolers and their mothers. The manuals are really bright, very modern and incredibly exciting; this is the rare case when the child himself invites you to "work out." Workbooks "I can!" teach children to cut and glue, find solutions, memorize, draw lines and complete mazes. Each manual contains high-quality illustrations and a set of stickers, and tasks, in addition to the main direction like passing a labyrinth, are often accompanied by additional questions that stimulate logical reasoning and coherent speech. Particularly picky critics may reproach the series for partially failing to comply with the important principle “from simple to complex” - but even this does not make them less charming. After all, nothing enhances the effectiveness of classes as much as a child’s deep enthusiasm - and according to this parameter, the series “I can!” receives 10 points out of 10 possible.
