Chores for Kids; Toddler Cleaning Set

I recently read an article that the majority of American children are not expected to do household chores. I was saddened by this because it is a lost learning opportunity and a missed chance of bonding, responsibility and togetherness. Toddlers like to mimic the adults in their life and this is a wonderful way to learn social roles. Provide a child with a toddler cleaning set and he will feel proud and competent working alongside his parent. He will be interacting, perhaps learning new vocabulary and new skills. He will feel like he is contributing to the family unit. Having the right sized tools increases success. Even children as young as toddlers can help around the house. Child sized carpentry toys for 2 year old boys and girls such as screwdrivers and pliers let your child work alongside while you are doing repairs. These are teachable moments that would be missed if your child is not expected to do chores.

Toys for 2 year old boys and girls often have multiple pieces, such as puzzles or nuts and bolts toys for toddlers or building blocks. If the child scatters these toys, shouldn’t there be some expectation that she help tidy up? This is teaching responsibility for her actions; it is cause and effect. And while it is fun for a little one to pick up toys alongside her parent, it is also setting standards androutines for when the child is older.

I read a comment from a parent that children are not your slaves and shouldn’t be expected to do chores. I certainly agree that children are not slaves but neither are the parents. To belong to a family unit is to contribute and participate in anage appropriate manner. A child can use the toddler cleaning set to dust and mop alongside her parent. He can help pick up those nuts and bolts toys for toddlers. As they get older children will feel left out if they are not helping to set the table. If they are not expected to feed their cat, what is that teaching a child? . For more information click here. jumbo lacing beads for toddlers & best interactive toys for toddlers

I believe that parents have a responsibility to guide their child to eventual independence and self-sufficiency. It is important that a child learns to contribute first to a family unit and then to society.  It is far simpler to start these simple routines and chores when a child is young.

Looking For Toys For 2 Year Old Boys?

Are you looking for toys for 2 year old boys ? Maybe you are buying a gift for your nephew, grandson or your own child. There are so many options, such as books, puzzles, balls, dolls, cars and trucks; these are all good ideas. However, as a special gift I like to choose something a little more memorable. I also like to strike a balance between fun time and learning opportunities; in my opinion learning through play is the way to go. Here are a few ideas: Nuts and bolts toys for toddlers are a great choice. Sets with wheels and interconnecting pieces add a whole new challenge of planning, creating and playing. Toddlers will love building cars or structures. The jumbo sized plastic pieces are the perfect size for small hands. The child will be practicing his fine motor skills by using both hands to grasp, twist and rotate the nuts onto the bolts. Nuts and bolts toys for toddlers are great for color recognition and awareness of geometric shapes. They also encourage early math

How to Use Jumbo Stringing Beads as Teaching Toys for Toddlers

Sets of jumbo sized stringing beads are excellent teaching toys for toddlers . Besides practicing fine motor skills and eye hand coordination, toddlers can be exposed to many new ideas. Here’s how parents and caregivers can help. To improve color recognition, point out the colors of the beads as your toddler strings them. She will soon be identifying those colors on her own. As a further challenge, have your toddler match the color of a bead with things in the room. Be sure to point out the varying shades of the same color; you will find out that recognising colors is harder than you thought! Use the beads as teaching toys for toddlers when you help them learn about numbers.Count the beads as your child places them on the string. Show her how to add one more or take away two, for early addition and subtraction skills.

I Love Toddlers ; Toys for Toddlers

I love toddlers. Toddlers have passed infancy but are still preschool age. They are aware of their world and are exploring everything. They are tenacious – they walk and stumble, then laugh or cry and go at it one more time.Toddlers start to imitate adults in their life; they may be using child sized mops and brooms to be like their parents. They are practicing fine motor skills by piling blocks and using large wooden puzzles and shape sorters. They may be trying to use child safety scissors. Everything is new and novel and exciting. I once took my toddler to a fireworks display and was disappointed when he wasn’t particularlyenthralled. My friend pointed out that everything is a fireworks display at that age.
