Looking for something new to do? Games to Play with Toddlers, by Jackie Silberg,
is a great book filled with fun activities for parents and toddlers. The book is easy to follow
and even gives ages and skill levels for the games. The activities are simple and fun to do at home.
A toy telephone is a great toy for the young toddler. Pretend together to call friends and
family. Phone play is a great way to practice language. Your toddler will also love to "ring" the play phone.
Playing with dolls and stuffed animals is a great way for toddlers to use their imaginations.
Offer your child a doll or a stuffed animal with toy bottles, spoons, washcloths and other items for
play. Take dolls in the bathtub so your toddler can wash and care for the 'baby.'
