Lesson Plans for Toddlers

We all would love to see our dear toddler grow up and become a successful and a responsible citizen of our country. However, training the child right when they are toddlers is essential to achieve this goal. This training should involve teaching the toddlers basic values and behavioral values too, through fun and easy modes such that they remember them for their entire life. For implementing this suggestion, it becomes very important to have patience, faith in the abilities of the child and understand the child psychology and moods well. These are of three types - values, weather education and creative activities. Go through the lesson plans for preschoolers mentioned below.

Creative Activities and Academics

Plans to teach the creative activities such as singing, music, painting, learning the various colors and shapes can be done by organizing fun games and in a light atmosphere. You can teach your child some easy songs to create interest in the art. Organizing a get-together of many children and giving singing lessons, is one of the good music lesson plans for babies. For teaching colors, you can first point out how a particular color is and then give assignments to the toddlers to find that particular colors in the home. Show a sample drawing, by sketching it yourself and then ask your child to draw them and post them on the board once they are complete. Art activities help them learn new things. By using pebbles or chocolates, you can teach mathematical concepts such as addition and subtraction. You can ask simple questions and check whether the fun ways of teaching are working for your child. Color lessons are important for toddlers as they will get well prepared before they have drawing and painting sessions in school. 

Science facts such as blue color of the sky, identifying animals by telling the children about their looks, showing your child how electronic gadgets and appliances like mobile phone, television work will make the kid smart. Explaining concepts like schools, college and universities by showing nice pictures in papers and on television can help to create interest for them in children. Making clay items should be included in the lesson plans.

Weather Education
