Your child will begin to develop a wide range of skills, including recognition of primary colours, shapes, and counting. Children enjoy messy play with spaghetti and jelly, splash in the water trough, dig in the sand, and create paintings for you to take home and treasure. Social interaction is very beneficial at this age; your child will become aware of their peers, develop friendships, and make new friends. Growing toddlers need clear boundaries within a safe and fun environment.
