Attract your hands

For example, games in plasticine, where the child can mix colors and cut shapes. Drawing - develops good motor skills and is a source of emotions. Puzzles and constructors are also encouraged, because these exercises are for the mind, and hands are also involved.
Encourage imagination
Participate in games with kids, encourage their imagination. Children's fantasy - provokes the imagination. Organize a home puppet theater, distributing roles. Recreate fairy tales with hand-painted landscapes, masks and costumes. Immerse the children in the kitchen of the restaurant and cook “specialties” together so that the child will learn about different foods, fruits and vegetables.
read books
It’s never too early or too late to show your child the magic of books. Pictures of interesting stories attract children's eyes. In addition, reading can become a ritual. Short stories or poems - for the youngest children.
Sort toys
No matter how many toys a child has at home, sooner or later he will get tired of them and stop playing with them. Therefore, it is better to keep some of them in sight, while others are hidden in a box and pulled out next week. Sort by color, shape or purpose.
Play outdoors
Outdoor games are mandatory for children of all ages. Clean air has a good effect on the body, and children spend more energy. Arrange a race, build a kite with your own hands, play with the ball or blow soap bubbles. Gardening can also be a game for toddlers to teach them patience and care, show how plants grow, where fruits and vegetables come from, and how flowers grow.
