What games do you play with your 2yr old???

Question

I am looking for some fresh ideas on things i can do with my son, he's 26 months. It's rainy or really muggy where we live so I was looking for indoor ideas. I think I under estimate what he is capable of, ex) I didn't think he knew what sound went with what animal and he does!! Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Answer 1

draw shapes together, make trail mix together(i know i say this one a lot but it really is great), sing new songs, read, play dough, try counting toys, try big-small excersises(can you find a toy that will fit in the back of this toy truck) color games, wood puzzles, arts and crafts(macaroni art), anything can be made into a game even cleaning-my kids love the clean up song- they sing and pick up toys together and it is adorable

Answer 2

You can pretend your Zoo Animals, or Barn Animals, and or you can point out the difference and then crawl on the floor and pretend you are one of them.

You can make a 'fort' with a sheet and boxes. You can play cars.

Patty Cake, sing songs, read books and act out the parts of characters. On the computer there is this one website my son loves to go to ever since he was two and that is:

www.starfall.com

There, you can have him learn his ABC's and 123's. There are art projects on that website as well.  He learned a lot from that website.

Play ball. You can sit on one end of the hallway, and roll the ball to him and have him do the same.

You can go outside and make mudpies and just get dirty! Of course that's if it's warm enough in your area. :-)

Take some dry macaroni, and dry rice and glue them on paper and make projects that way.  :-)  

OH, my son loves to finger paint. We do this on the kitchen floor with the washable finger paint so that it's easy to clean up. We made our hand prints and foot prints. I've got them pinned up on the frig. SOOO CUTE!!!

Well there are some ideas for you. :-) Hope this helps. Have a good day!
