Craft time gives toddlers a chance to be creative and express themselves. Some suggested activities include drawing, painting, making masks and creating collages. Provide a variety of materials such as milk cartons, ribbons, empty match boxes and fabric scraps.
Singing the alphabet or learning to count to 10 are great educational activities that children can have a lot of fun doing. Identify different colors around the classroom or take the children on an excursion outdoors. Point out flora and fauna and administer a quiz on returning to the classroom. Award prizes for the child who receives the most correct answers.
Games like Hide-and-Go-Seek, Tag and Follow-the-Leader are a great way for children to get fresh air and have fun at the same time. Organize a treasure or scavenger hunt with fun treats and prizes for the winners.
Toddlers attending school for the first time will need activities to ease nervousness and help break the ice of first meetings with others. Ask children to talk about a recent vacation or their favorite food in front of the class. Organize children into groups and ask them to come up with a fun activity that everyone can undertake in the future.
