Stock your classroom full of art supplies, books, furniture, learning aids and toys that are appropriate for two-year-olds. Some examples of furniture include child-sized tables, easels, cubbies, and storage bins for supplies and toys. Cover the floor with soft, washable play mats.
Plan out arts and crafts activities ahead of time on a calendar, and get the necessary supplies ready. You can do this on a weekly basis or as much as a month in advance. Arts and crafts ideas include finger painting, coloring with crayons, making Christmas decorations, or creating gifts for parents for Mother's Day and Father's Day.
Follow a daily schedule that includes frequent snack times, naptime, learning activities, reading, and both inside and outside play time. Learning activities include reading, singing and doing alphabet flashcards. You may run off-schedule from time to time, but you and the children will benefit from a set daily pattern.
Encourage unstructured play time during the day. Children can play independently or with others while you supervise at a distance and step in when needed, for example, when upsets occur between children or if a child gets hurt.
