Toddlers are in the midst of developing muscle strength, concentration, creativity and spatial awareness.

To help give these factors a boost, the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends:

• encouraging building with blocks and pegboards,
• stringing large beads,
• coloring with crayons and chalk,
• working large, simple jigsaw puzzles of four or five pieces,
• pouring water to and from containers of different sizes,
• building sand castles,
• playing dress-up with dolls, changing outfits with snaps, laces and zippers.
