Play "Clean Up" Games.
Help your toddler sort objects into piles. She can help you sort laundry (put socks in one pile and shirts in another). Have your toddler put toys on specified shelves or boxes.

Play Hide and Seek.
Your toddler can hide with another person or by herself for you to find. Then take your turn to hide and let your toddler find you.

Pretend Play.
Encourage your toddler to have a doll or stuffed toy do what he does -- walk, go to bed, dance, eat, and jump. Include the doll in daily activities or games.
