Here’s something we used to do with the 2-3 year old classes:
Use some card stock and make some cut out shapes, the bigger the better, and throw them on the floor. When you yell out, “Star” your toddler should run over and stand on the star and say as loud as she can, “STAR!” Make sure you are encouraging and praising and help out it your child forgets. Next yell out, “Crescent or Moon” and so on. Start with the basics like star, crescent, square, circle, oval, rectangle, octagon, etc. Then move onto harder shapes. Next time try them in Spanish, etc.
I have found that one shape per each 8×10 cardstock paper works the best. Different colors are always fun.
The point is to have a loud, running, fun activity. Remeber to always quit an activity while you’re ahead and you toddler isn’t yet bored.
Have fun!!
