During the childhood stage, children are constantly developing and seeking autonomy, so the best games for them are those that stimulate and challenge them. Their energy has no limits, but it is not difficult to keep them entertained while they can put their psychomotor skills into practice with educational games dyscalculia. If you lack inspiration, here you will find some of the best educational games for children aged 2 to 3 years.
Simple language games
At two years old, children begin to speak and repeat each word they hear. This is the perfect time to introduce them to some simple language games, such as ‘Simon Says’ or ‘I Spy’. Give your child simple, positive directions, such as ‘Simon says to smile’ or ‘Simon says to touch your feet.’ Didactic games for two-year-olds like these are a fun way to develop the child’s motor and language skills.
Building blocks
Playing at home doesn’t always require a trip to the toy store. You can use common household items like empty toilet paper roll tubes to form building blocks. Regio’s cardboard tubes are strong enough to withstand a little rough handling. Teach your child how to stack the tubes to create a pyramid, and knock them down again for fun!
Build a farm with plasticine
Show your little one how to make simple animal shapes with playdough. You can play with the figurines creating a fantasy farm! This is one of the best activities for children aged 2 to 3 years at home, as it develops their language, sensory, motor and creative skills. Remember that playdough is not recommended for children under two years of age, and make sure your child is supervised at all times while playing with it.
Play and learn body parts
Have your child lie down on a large sheet and trace the outline of the child’s body. If you don’t have one large enough, a roll of craft paper or wrapping paper can also work.
Once you’re done, encourage your child to draw his clothing and facial features inside the outlines. This game for 2-year-olds will teach him where his body parts are and he will learn self-control by having to stay still for a full minute while you are tracing his little body. This is not a very common thing, as moms and dads know very well!
Learn to count with toilet paper rolls
This is one of those games for two-year-olds that is also clever and fun for the rest of the family. Decorate 5 empty toilet paper tubes (or 10 if you have them) with colored felt tips or paints. Next, take a large amount of toilet paper and roll it into a rope. Help the little one pass the empty toilet paper tubes along the paper rope.
Once the tubes are in place, tie the loose ends of the rope together until it looks like a giant bracelet. Get the older siblings involved by helping the little one count the toilet paper rolls and move them around like beads. Choose a strong, soft toilet paper, like Regio® Suave Deleite , so that the paper rope doesn’t tear!
To paint with the fingers
Two-year-olds love to get messy, and painting is a fun sensory activity that will keep them fascinated for hours. Grab some kid’s paint and let your child explore his creativity on a large sheet of paper, or even kitchen towels.
