Make a Book of Textures.
Paste different textures on each page. Materials such as sandpaper, feathers, cotton balls, nylon, silk, and buttons lend themselves to words such as rough, smooth, hard, and soft.
Play the "Show Me" Game.
When looking at books, ask your toddler to find an object in a picture. Take turns. Let your toddler ask you to find an object in a picture. Let him turn the pages.

Toddlers enjoy looking at old pictures of themselves. Tell simple stories about him as you look at the pictures. Talk about what was happening when the picture was taken.
Tell Stories with Props.
Use plastic farm animals or stuffed animals to tell the Old McDonald story. Use sound effects!
Sing a Body Parts Naming Song.
A good body parts song is "Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes." Get more detailed with body parts by naming teeth, eyebrows, fingernails, and so forth.
Sing Songs Together.
Rhymes and songs with actions are popular at this age. "Itsy- Bitsy Spider," "I'm a Little Teapot," and "Where Is Thumbkin?" are usual favorites. Make up your own using your toddler's name in the song.
