Like keys, wallets, books, spectacles etc and then ask your toddler to guess who it belongs to and for what purpose it is used. This way they will remember little things in your household and would know the purpose of them. You can also introduce different concepts around remembering their address, your occupation and general information.

3) Stick-on collage – all you need to do is tape a chart paper and ask your toddler to draw or colour things on the sticky notes and paste them on the chart. Your toddler will love using their imagination to draw and colour things and the joy of sticking their masterpiece!

4) Considering the age bracket of 0-5, your kids as they move to the upper limit of the bracket would require more physical activity. So, one should not restrict their children to indoor games but they should allow space for them to discover their own play! Give them a ball and let them play in the backyard or playground. This way they will also make friends and will play games like kicking the ball, passing the ball etc. They will bond and develop various muscles and sensory responses to their environment.

5) Dance all the way with your toddlers – turn on the volume and play some good groovy music and you will see a big smile on your toddler’s face. They will start grooving to the beats of the song and invent their own step. It will be a treat for your eyes!
