At 35 months old, your little one is like a sponge, eager to absorb knowledge and experiences. As a parent, your role is to create a fun and engaging learning environment while keeping the pressure low.
Early Literacy and Numeracy
When it comes to early literacy and numeracy, many toddlers show a natural curiosity. Introducing basic concepts of reading and math can be beneficial, but it’s important to do so in a playful manner. Opt for educational games instead of strict drills to enhance your child’s readiness for school. Reading together is an excellent way to familiarize your toddler with the alphabet. Look for books that connect letters to familiar objects; for instance, “C is for cat” helps them hear the sound while seeing the letter.
You can also personalize your child’s space by displaying their name on their door in large block letters. This not only aids in name recognition later on but also adds a special touch to their room.
Incorporating Numbers into Daily Activities
Incorporating numbers into your daily activities can be a lot of fun! Count items such as cookies, socks, or stairs to make learning seamless. Games like Lotto, Bingo, and Animal Dominoes are perfect for promoting pre-math and pre-reading skills; just ensure all toys and activities are age-appropriate to prevent any frustration.
