What can toddlers do on World Food Day?
Introduce preschoolers to different types of healthy foods, like fruits, vegetables, and grains. You can organize a taste-testing activity where children try different fruits and vegetables and talk about their flavors and textures. By playing with their food, children are learning about the world and developing a more relaxed and positive association with a variety of foods. It engages their senses and stimulates their curiosity. They can squish, squeeze, and mold food, helping to develop their fine motor skills and hand-to-eye coordination.Present foods in creative ways. Cut sandwiches into fun shapes with a knife or cookie cutter. Try these fruit kebabs – kids can have fun choosing the fruit to include. Try kid-approved recipes.
What are creative activities for toddlers?
Toddlers learn and develop through creative activities like drama, art, craft, music and dance. Experiencing, discovering and experimenting are the most important parts of toddler creative activities. Encourage toddlers by letting them lead creative activities, giving them time and space, and praising them. Indoor activities like coloring, car races, or pretend play with cardboard boxes keep toddlers busy and learning. They also help build fine motor skills, attention, and language.

Crayons, a coloring book, and some stickers are a great start. For younger kids, Color Wonder books, Water Wow books, and a magnetic drawing board are great mess-free options.

One activity is to play simple matching games, such as matching shapes, colors, or pictures. This helps your child develop their problem-solving skills, memory, and attention.

This will encourage new ideas that come from simply “playing” to crafting larger projects.Make some sounds and rhythms with homemade or bought musical instruments.
