2 Year Olds Love to Play

While every 2 year old is going to be a little different, one of the common traits found in 2-3 year old toddlers is that they love to play.

In fact, anything they do turns into toddler games!

I absolutely love that about two year old children…everything they play turns into toddler games. It is something we should all learn from!

Toddler Physical Abilities

Physically, toddlers are active participants in almost any activity that includes climbing, kicking, running (short distances), scribbling, squatting, hopping and the way they walk starts to appear more like an adult or child than a baby. It is amazing how quickly those gross motor skills develop.

Through play, 2 year olds develop coordination, spacial recognition and so much more…

Toddler Mental Abilities

Mentally, two year olds are grasping language with more skill, being more thoughtful and starting to strategize and hold concepts. In fact, it is at age 2 that toddlers often start running through scenarios in their head that can predict outcomes of actions.

Toddler Play Abilities

It is one of the reasons why play is such an important part of a 2 year olds life…it helps them develop both mentally and physically! Oh, and don’t forget that important toddler social component as well…remember that everything is toddler games to a two year old.

Supplies Needed To Make These Paper Plate Flowers:

Supplies you will need to make your paper plate flowers:

  • Red paper plates
  • Scissors
  • Optional: a black marker

How to Make Paper Plate Roses

Step 1

If your child has a hard time free-cutting, lightly draw the snail onto the plate for the to cut along.   You won’t see the pencil line when the flower is finished

Step 2

Cut a “snail” into your paper plate. It does not need to be perfect. Your snail can be lumpy. Our three year old loves cutting so this was one of her favorite parts of flower making!

Cut the paper plate in a swirl and then roll it up.
Step 3

After you have your “snail” cut into the plate, take the outside edge and begin twisting the flower.

Step 4

You want to make this as tight as possible.   My three year old started the twist and I tightened it for her once she was finished.

Here is how Holly used this as a kids craft for a class of second graders:

What fun!

These paper plate roses are so easy to make. Big kids and little kids can both make it!

Aren’t these just beautiful!
