Teaching a Toddler at Home



Teaching a toddler is more about constant nurture and care at this age, however, there is so much to learn before the preschool years start. Here is what I recommend and some things we do in our house:


Bible reading from a Bible storybook (Beginner's Bible)

Beginner's Bible videos on youtube- great way for little ones to learn the Bible thoroughly

You can use some preschool Bible worksheets to start off, using toys or manipulatives to tell the story. 

The child can learn to hold a pencil and scribble on their worksheet.

picture books for read aloud time

puzzles focusing on skills in learning colors and shapes 

blocks, montessori tower and stairs, cylinder knobs (size sorting)

buckle boards

pre-writing- workbooks for tracing lines and even a pre-writing wooden tablet

phonics- I begin with lowercase letters and their sounds only. A few times a week, I flip flashcards in front of my toddler and say each letter sound. They will pick up on more than you know.

painting with watercolors

coloring

playing with clay or playdough

counting out loud and introducing small numbers and amounts with manipulatives or through picture books
